One World One Heart




I give to you with love, a wood covered journal.

This 9" x 6" journal is quite sturdy but has a nice soft attractive quality. I hope it will inspire you to be creative within. It is full of blank card stock pages just waiting for your personal touch. I created the cover design/pattern with a wood burning tool and paint. The metal hand holds a ceramic bird egg. Copper tacks frame the square opening that reveals a Cavallini bird collage. The spine is bursting with just about every coordinating yarn and fiber I could find.

The winner will be chosen on February 15th and will be announced here.
Just leave a comment to be eligible to win. You must leave a way to link back to you or an email address so I can contact you if you win. So, if I cannot contact you I will have to choose another winner :( I am looking forward to connecting with all you bloggers! Good luck.

Erosion Bundles - Decades of My Life

So, what started out as a simple stuffing of cardboard tubes became something a little more.... The tubes are now memory capsules. Each one filled with memories, prayers and secrets, one for each decade of my life. Old papers, new embellishments - representing me. I think they will hold up well...all things considered. The exterior of each brushed here and there with a little wax for preservation, just as I attempt to shelter my own exterior with lotions and creams. The capsule interiors harbor symbols of my life as it is up until now. Untouched, unchanged and raw. Letting nature take it's course on these capsules as life has done with me....and at the end it will all become art. Such is life. Time erodes. In the end a true revealing of what we have become.
