 In preperation of my Journaling Retrete in August, I have been playing around with different technics.

 The Packing Tape Transfers is so easy and fun. The strip on the left is one. Forgot about that!!!!!

 And here is one more.

 Doilies are becomming a favourite , together with the diecuts. Yes Mary, still the ones I got from you!

Final touches.

Final touches was made to the 4 new Journal Covers. Stitching and stamping.
All that is needed now, are binding, putting in the pages, and they are ready to be filled with all the wonders of Creative Art Journaling.

Preparing new journals.

Getting my self in the teaching CAJ workshop mode, I prepared 4 new journals today. I will have to start selling out, as I have a huge box full of Journals/sketch books....But I LOVE making them :)

New graphite sticks.

Tina, my Sweedish friend, posted a video of a tutorial, using these Water-soluble Graphite sticks. The brand is Derwent. www.pencils.co.uk  Mary found the link, Thanks ;) I was quite excited, waiting for them to arrive from the UK, and the wait was worth it. I love them! I know that I will use these a lot, as you know, watercolours are my favourites! So these are great. 4 sticks, 2-4-6-8B.

Dream Board.

I love my dream board. I love my dreams. And what a healthy exersice it has been, and still are. Putting not just words, but images on to your private dreams and visions. My new board,(not up for show yet)  is a consentrated copy of this one. Specific and lean! I would recomment this for anybody, who want their dreams to come through, but do not posess a macic wand! Have fun :)
