I’m getting used to the hand.book journal. {now that it’s almost full.} I’ll write what I think about the book, and in more detail, soon. {the paper, the specs, working in this size book, etc.} Until then, here’s a handful of pages from early June.
Embrace your Uniqueness

Trust and Hope are intertwined
{background: layers of scrapbook paper with watercolor and acrylic before and after. elements: magazine text and stickers. “Trust and Hope are intertwined” is a quote from friend Candi.}
Those words brought to mind the bird & egg stickers which remind me of flying {the bird} and possibility {the egg}
be HONEST with your self. manage your preferences
{background: watercolor and acrylic stamped through the mesh from a bag of oranges with white acrylic scrumbled on top so text would show. Had quite a time with the lettering as the paint clogged the Pilot G-2 I was using. I eventually switched to a Micron pen.}
Because my brain is already flying
{background: watercolor and inked edges. collage = origami paper and wings colored with Sakura Gelly Roll metallic pen with Pilot G-2 in blue for depth {see the difference between the front and the back? – photo taken before I finished the whole thing}}
Finish/Rest
{background: Crayon & watercolor with inked edges. elements: A couple of measures of music from a misprint from one of the Little’s voice lesson. Journaling with a Pigma Micron 05 (I think…)}
