Full and Rich

Another quick reminder to Mary Ann and Kristin that everyone was a winner in the blue and white joy journal giveaway!  See this post and email me for more information and to establish contact. Thank you!

Days are full and rich...and this particular week is filled with social engagements with people I care about. I spent a good chunk of today with Kelly. She has a school vacation week...so joined me for lunch and a good catch up. We even did a little art this afternoon. For those of you who may not know...Kelly is my son Sam's girlfriend.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying playing with my cyanotypes again. I've rounded up all my prints and scraps (I still have a lot!)  and am I'm working on various ways to use them to create covers. 

I have eight journals to make...and all the covers will be a little different. They won't all be squares....but I did especially like this one where I cut up one print and separated it into a grid.

The back of the cover is a mixture of prints. 

I've done things like this before...but I was reminded of the technique from a photograph Debbie L. sent me of a very large cyanotype piece at the North Carolina Museum of Art. She said it covered one whole wall and it looks like it's one print cut up into a grid. Thanks for sending it along Debbie!
