Journal Page in Progress

I'll show you the finished page soon! I am having a great time working in this journal. One of my favorite things to use is scraps and waste (like the sticker waste above). If it looks like it may have potential, I'll save it. If not, it hits the recycle bin! I've noticed that the background collage papers that I've been gravitating towards lately are book and magazine papers. Funny how it works sometimes. Tristan is having his bottom braces put on today. Fingers crossed he'll be okay with them. I remember how tough it was the first couple of weeks and what it's like to eventually get used to them. I'm all done with my prep work for No CA this weekend so tomorrow will be a play day for me. Yay! I am super excited about the classes this weekend. I always get so jazzed about new ideas. Hope you're having a good week so far.

Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage by R. Klanten, H. Hellige and J. Gallagher

I hate to post new books back to back but I saw this last night at the bookstore and must've looked at it at least five times. I couldn't put it down. I didn't love everything in it but I saw enough of it to know that it is a must have for my bookshelf.

Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage by R. Klanten, H. Hellige and J. Gallagher is published by Gestalten (they have the book available on their website at a discount, as well as free shipping). You can view many of the pages here.

Just a quick reminder folks, I'm trekking to Oakland on Thursday. I'll be teaching Fri-Sun five NEW classes. I just finished the the handouts yesterday for Journal This! and Musings and I am beyond super excited about the new material. I am really looking forward to it and I hope to see YOU there!

I'll be teaching some of the new classes in Scottsdale next month. Whee!!!

A quick post today as I'm off to celebrate another revolution around the sun.
