Finish this Book by Keri Smith

I just ordered "Finish This Book" by Keri Smith. See below if you want to order your copy!

The premise is that this unfinished book needs to be finished. This is the starting page, don't you love my purple fingerprints? Since I had a variegated purple to blue ink pad, I figured why not purple fingerprints??

This is a sign that you are supposed to post so the people around you know you are seriously pursuing a great task. Since my two cats can't read, this was a little unnecessary, but I made it anyway!

The decision here was Option One - put the book on a shelf or give to someone who might continue with finishing the book, or continue -Option Two. I chose Option Two

Stack your Journals

Over at Altered Pages, Seth Apter had a great idea: On September 21, 2011, post your stack of journals, handmade journals, artwork--whatever you stack up in your studio.
As you can see from my stack, I like messy (in the background and my journals)

Going back to my fabric roots

A Fabric book started in Tracy Bautista's class at

Art Uraveled. The title is "Girly Girl" and

it will be a future gift for a friend.

The binding is stab stitched

Inside Cover and page 2. The inside cover is fabric and the pink is colored paper towels, which Traci is famous for. Page 2 is Watercolor paper

Page 3 and 4, page 4 is mulberry
paper from Japan (thanx Jan!)


Page 5 and 6 is some leaf paper that I have had for years




Page 7 and the inside back cover (page 7 is watercolor paper)

Back cover

Hopefully, after working in fabric for a few days,

I will be able to return to my journals.

Only time will tell.
