A Longer Step-by-Step ...




I received a beautiful handmade journal 
by friend/artist Valerie Kemp.
I collaged 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.
 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 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.

Your step-by-steps are always special, Jacki. The journal is a very beautiful gift. .
I also like the scribbles and I'll send some of them to my grandchildren as an inspiration. The scribbles seem so easy but they aren't. That's art!
Thanks for your cyber hugs, Jacki. I want to send some in return.

I'm sorry I got behind on answering posts, but I do it within a week? I was extra busy lately (today 2/12) but hope to settle into a normal routine before the month ends. Hasn't February gone fast.?
