Continued Amazing

The Journal Study Gals (JSG) met up for our one year anniversary Monday night. I feel blessed to have a group of gals that does what we do, namely make journals, do creative projects (like work on the strange if promising Yupo) and go to museums and galleries, never mind make each other laugh and giggle late into the night.

Here Shirley and Benedicte look their ever gorgeous selves.

While Pat discusses the itsy-bitsy-spider.

Pat has been busy revealing truths and you can see how she bubbles over some here. This bubbling results in fab prezzies for all JSG's.

Pat's verve and creative approach tickles me (yes Pat, I said verve and tickle in the same sentence). And I am giddy to receive these occasional gifts, one of which will be or is featured in Cloth, Paper, Scissors this month.

It seems like one morning Pat woke and hiccuped an excess of thermofax images. Her creative self boiled over and we are the lucky recipients.

I have been playing with Kozo Paper again this time I have fallen in love with Kin Washi, which has long shimmery bits of Kozo fiber in it. It looks like rayon, almost. More on that later.

For a very exciting Gouache Painting Tutorial keep cheking The Sketchbook Challenge blog, I think the video will be posted today or tomorrow.
