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.
