September So Soon!



 A Book and a Journal Spread


I made this accordion book for my collage class with Randel Plowman.  I made mine a bit different than the assignment (I always have had trouble following directions) I did a cover called a wrapped board cover- it's a non adhesive cover where you essentially wrap a board with the paper. The first and last panels of the accordion slip into a slot that is created when the board is wrapped. The accordion is 22 1/1 inches long. I chose to do a continuous collage.






This journal spread felt good to do- I have been thinking how we all have this need to define things.  When sometimes it is best to just feel things and leave it at that.

  1. I love the accordion book so much. I tried to take that class with Randal but I was not able to complete it. I hope to be able to take it again some time when things settle down. I just love seeing the way you journal as well.

  2. Thanks Roberta. As to journaling- I am so comfortable now just opening the journal and starting in with no preconceived idea of what will happen.
