Something Blue to Give Away!
As I begin to make some joy journals from my own papers to give away...I thought I would start with a blue and white theme.
I cut squares from some of my prints for the cover and mounted and stitched them onto a fabric background.
This is journal is mostly a blank blue and white canvas....with pockets and spaces and places for your collage creations and snippet collections. And of course it would be fun to add other pops of color too!
Papers include a bit of commercial art paper you see here, graph paper, a small calendar page, gelli prints and miscellaneous recycled print papers. There's a plain white page in there too.
And of course...I like to add a butterfly.
I think it's a sweet little journal....and I had to hold
back because I wanted to play in it!
This little gem is a cyanotype from a Chinese papercut from Paul's sister Liz and the painted paper on the right is from my butterfly book.
The small gelli print page has a little pocket and the opposite
paper is from a recycled guest book.....Guests...is written in blue!
This joy journal comes with a little packet of blue snippets and scraps to help get you started. If you have interest in this 4 x 6 blue and white joy journal...email me at joyfulputtering@gmail.com
Because I would like to make more to give away....my only request is help with postage. $5 should cover it...and just might give me a little extra for Maine Needs.
If more than one person is interested...I will draw a name in a few days.
Please put my name in the hat, MaryAnn! I'll let go of my inner blues to open myself to the possibility of these outer blues : )
ReplyDeleteOK Dotty....your name is in!
DeleteThis journal is beautiful, MaryAnn, but I am not a blue person, plus you have done so much for me already, I will not ask to be considered. However, your prints on the cover and interesting pages make for a lovely journal and I'm sure whoever gets it will love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! Not everyone is a blue and white fan.
DeleteMaryAnn, my heart is blue and white. Please put my name in the drawing. I so enjoy reading your inspirational posts.
ReplyDeleteNice to have another Mary Ann who loves blue and white! I'll put your name in the hat! Thank you for following along.
DeleteMary Ann, not sure what happen with my comment? Love the blue and white journal please add my name to your drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lily
Your name is in the hat Lily! I did get your first partial comment...along with this one. Remember I have to approve them before they get published. (I didn't publish the partial one once I saw this one.)
DeleteThanks for the thumbs up on the journal!
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteWow! This is just gorgeous with such a beautiful shade of blue. I’ve been lucky enough to be a recipient of your art for quite a while so no need to enter my name. I just wanted you to know it’s beautifully done and whoever the recipient is, I’m sure will treasure it. 💙
ReplyDeleteThanks Roseanne! There's nothing like a beautiful blue. So happy to have had a little art going your way! And I've had some coming my way too!
DeleteI too, am a lover of blue and white! I have made 2 queen-size quilts and several wall quilts in blue and white. My first sweater I knit was blue, of course! I would love to be in the drawing for your lovely Joy Journal.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Kristen! Nothing prettier than a blue and white quilt! The first quilt I ever made was blue and white. I already drew a name, but as you'll see from tonight's post I am going to make a journal for everyone who threw their name in. You will need to start an email conversation with me.
