A New Journal Page

Hi everyone, here’s a couple of new journal pages at last.

Right now I am trying to invent a style for my journaling. I don’t want to continue using magazine pages for my images as I feel they are too shiney and  of course you have to watch for copyright issues. I am playing around trying to get a really unique “look” to my pages.

To explain………………Claudine Helmuth has the most unique style and no one ever seems to copy her look. I must say her look is not one that appeals to me at all, but it does make a good example for me.

Teesha Moore is my hero in Visual Journaling, but many other people have her “look” and if mine is to be unique it has to look all mine, no one elses.

When designing dolls, I have my own style! It seems that people know instinctively when a doll is my design and I want this for my journaling. That way I have something different to teach and something interesting to say. This is going to be a fun process.

I have bought myself a little cam corder and in the future I hope to start teaching online again. My classes will be different though as they will now be video classes rather than photos and text. This is very exciting , although a learning curve for me.

Next week my friend Annie, from USA arrives to spend 2 weeks with me. I am so excited as I havn’t seen her since I taught last in USA a couple of years ago. We are planning to do a lot of art and play, a lot of eating talking and laughing as we always do when we get together Woohoo!!!
