I received a beautiful handmade journal 

by friend/artist Valerie Kemp (@valkemp60).

I started a collage with one large paper on the first page.

1.

Then a sewing pattern detail for the second piece.

2.

Three more random pieces are added.

3.

Adding more papers to the composition.

About now, I am discouraged with the overall composition.

But, with collage, there is always a fix.

4.

Adding more, strategically to strengthen the design.

5.

Small changes and additions that are starting to work.

6.

Knowing when to stop is the hard part.

7.

Two close-ups, looking for areas to work.

Finally, content.

8.

The last piece was the vertical cut-off letters on the right.

Thank you, Valerie.

next Thursday ...
