New journal

11/12/2012

I made a mini journal today. I had some paper cloth left over from the larger journal that I made, so I decided to use it to make a mini journal. It is 3" X 3 1/4", so it is pretty small. It is bound with a lovely cream colored card stock. I stitched it together using a thin hemp cord. If you want to learn how to make paper cloth you can learn from my tutorial.

I have a loving husband who thinks I'm a bit crazy to be so obsessed with art. I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me.

I love to read and am not often without a book. I love fantasy and science fiction novels. I also love reading a lot of mainstream fiction and historical accounts. Art books and magazines are another favorite of mine.I also dabble in gardening. I want to get out and garden more when my little ones are a bit older and less of a challenge. I enjoy being outside, at least when the weather is nice. I love animals. I also live with two cats.

I live in Alaska with the beauty of the natural world all around me.
