JUNQUE JOURNAL WORKSHOPEarly Saturday morning Bevlea & I headed out for the drive to Ro Bruhn's lovely, ecelectic home in the Dandenongs to do her 'Junk Journal' workshop.
Met some new artists & reconnected with some I hadn't seen for a while.
We made the covers and used stencils & masks & lots of paint to create lovely texture.
We painted, stamped, collaged etc our way through the day, adding lots of 'junky' paper to make the internal pages.
Note to myself, must save more junk, including, flyers, menus etc. etc. etc...
A few days later, I decided to rummage through my collection of buttons & sewed them to the spine.
Lots more to do with this journal, as it will be an ongoing project & one that I will treasure.
Thanks to Ro & her lovely husband for the day, great company, great food, great fun, great food, lots of laughs, great food, lots of ideas and, did I mention, great food!!
