Day 4: Outline

 This sun print was created a few years ago using hyacinth bean leaves and a plastic grid. I always liked the subtle colour and gentle feel of the print. The beaded outline almost feels too harsh. 

Day 3 - #januaryjunkjournal

 "Tickets". So I didn't really like this prompt, even though I have tickets to fly to Hawaii next week. Any more our tickets are in an app on our phone. Times do change! I decided on "mark making instead!

So... That's the ticket!

Day 2: #januaryjunkjournal

 The prompt is 'envelope'. A little note tucked in an envelope tells a romantic story... But, I believe he was more in love with his painting.

Lisa Gherardini's portrait is estimated to be valued at $830 million. Wow!

First Finish / 2025

 Quilted, bound, and a sleeve finished! Now -  block it and wrap this gift up. So satisfying to begin the year this way.

#JanuaryJunkJournal

 Day 1: Cover

My approach to #januaryjunkjournal is to use fabric and "junk" to create a long piece instead of working in a book. The "cover" uses some of the treasures I picked up at Lake Erie this past August and hung on a spindle that a friend gave me when she started to clean out her stash. 

Each day has a different prompt - I plan to stick to the list as much as possible. Working with fabric instead of paper does make it a challenge. I'm also headed to visit my sister in law for a few weeks during the month. Double challenge. Isn't that just how life is? A series of challenges.
