one of my favorite things to make as gifts are journals. here are a selection of a few I've designed. most of my journals are made with collage covers, sometimes machine stitched. If I bind them by hand, I like to incorporate beads, baubles, macrame and fabric into the bindings. Inside all of my journals you'll find random sized painted pages of various found papers. i'm teaching a few art journal workshops in 2010..come PLAY!! enjoy!
