We were given an A4 sketchbook to work in and I am going to show you the whole book. Some pages are finished, some are nearly finished and some have only been folded.

Lots of folded pages

Clear embossing resist (left) and drawing in pen

And the last page is a blank white page and the black cover.
I had a fabulous time and feel I achieved quite a lot. The best thing is that I can share these techniques with those who are joining in with 12 Months in View which starts today.
I hope you have enjoyed loooking through my journal.
Thanks for popping by.

This looks great Bernice - almost wish I had been able to come, but I had a fabulous weekend as well.
ReplyDeleteOoh Bernice what beautiful pages my lovely. It sure looks like you had a lot of fun and play, your book really shows it. I love all the techniques you played with and my head is now at bursting point ha ha ha! I particularly love your 'key' collage pages, stunning work.
ReplyDeleteHuge hugs x
Oooh nice - looks like you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pages Bernice, but I have a question, did you make the journal? If so how did you put it together. What binding method...I would love to create one for me.... : )
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's all interesting but I really love your pen drawing of the flowers! Great perspective!
