Susan's Journal

My friend Susan takes online classes on a regular basis. Sometimes I'm fortunate to be gathering the crumbs from what she absorbs and learns.

Yesterday she brought a new kind of journal she had put together. The two signatures needed bound to the cover which we learned how to do together. Two heads in this case are better than one. Separately, we were perplexed at how to proceed.

It is a curious and intriguing mixture of textiles, vintage ephemera, and oddities. Holding it and turning the pages is a completely gratifying sensation. It feels good. Raggedy good. Jumble sale good. I can't wait to see what it looks like filled in with her personal words, inked.

Enjoy the pics. The online class she took was found on Dispatch From L.A. 

I will be trying to put one of these together soon. Never before have I seen the beauty or usefulness of a
window business envelope. I am envious of the hair net envelope page.

A change of perspective is marvelous........the possibilities abound when I see things with a different point of view.
