The 100 day project Week 4 (Day 22 to Day 28)

 Hey there creative friend!

A new week and it started with the making of a few bits of ephemera for a new junk journal I intend to make from a paper bag. Not my first, but it was fun since I love bookbinding.

We ended the week with a long weekend, which I used to move my vegetable garden (yes, literally moved it). On Saturday I planted the seeds for winter, as well as two pots with flowers just for some colour.

As always a lot of writing since I love telling the stories of the characters in the growing series, The Nations of Peace.

Until next time!

Day 22

Top is an envelope from a scrapbook kit that I bought many years ago. I just folded and glued it together.

Middle is a pocket, and bottom are three journaling cards made from an Uno deck of cards I bought because of the size. I don't play Uno.

Time: 2 hours

Day 23

The story is evolving. 😃

Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Day 24

Another gouache painting in my sketchbook. With only 5 pages left, I am getting excited to finish it.

Time: 3 hours

Day 25

I started making the junk journal from a paper bag. The blue image is a shell on the fabric that I stitched to the paper bag to form the base of the cover.

It will have three signatures.

Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Day 26

Another Thursday session to work on the raven project. I see a few areas that need some attention, but as a WIP, it is not going badly at all.

Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Total time: 10 hours

Day 27

The junk journal finished. Made with a paper bag, covered with fabric, and three signatures made from mostly magazine pages. It is empty, and ready to be filled with thoughts, quotes, or ephemera when I am ready to use it.

Time: 8 hours (over three days)

Day 28

I didn't write all these words today. In fact they were written in bits over the past week in a notebook that I carry with me everywhere. I spent today transcribing the words into the file on my computer.

Time: 3 hours
