Last night Zach and I went and saw the one night performance in Kalgoorlie of the touring "Drum Tao" - of my gosh, how incredible are these guys and girls? It was, as Zach would say, awesome! The energy, the strength, the timing - really incredible. Zach reckoned if you had to pay after the performance he would have happily (had me) pay at least twice what we paid in the first place.And to make this a little art related, this is a little art journal that I have made for Jacky as part of a one-on-one exchange in a small group I'm in. Jacky loves nature and birds and I am loving making little sewn scrap collages at the moment so this is the result. I've made the binding with ribbons so that she can easily add more pages. I did the Traci Bautista thing and tore rather than cut the pages and left them big enough to poke out of the journal - I really am trying to free myself up a bit! I still cut the canvas pages though!
Have a great day everyone!

Love the journal, know what you mean about freeing yourself up, I find it so difficult to leave things 'rough', I like things to be well finished but am trying.
Absolutely love it!

Oooo, love the collage, Debbi! The journal looks wonderful and I really like the way you've constructed it. Keep tearing away at those pages because they look brilliant, poking out the sides!
Zach thought the drum tao was 'awesome' and I think this journal is 'awesome' :)
Love the torn edges too, I have always been a fan of uneven things teehee. xo
The stitching really highlights the frame very well.
Great journal, I love the combination of images and text here, I think TB is great for helping you loosen up I've been using her book quite a bit lately.
