different Journal Style for me....

I usually work in two journals that have been around for several years, just drifting and dreaming. One has song lyrics integrated into the image and one has quotes, words, thoughts on the pages.   I sort of accidentally started this new book by thinking that I had, and was carrying along if I move, a bunch of little pieces of random paper that I like but have not fitted into one of the sort of planned journals.

I started making sort of pages, different sizes etc and then ended up with a bunch of glued together page starts that I had no place to put. So... I sewed them together using an accordion folded spine, and ended up with a journal.  I have since painted and glued and made marks and by no means does it feel "done" but I thought some of my viewers might like to see where it is now.

First one cover:

and the binding:

Then an assortment of pages:

Pages are a variety of sizes, so often the edges of previous pages show when the journal is open.  I am liking that, and trying to find ways to incorporate the edges without actually working on them, just letting them show. 

There will probably be more on this journal as I go along. I posted a couple of these pages on Instagram and will probably use that venue to mention when I add some here.
