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
