For Father’s Day a few years ago, I made my father an amulet bag with an eagle feather on it. I thought he might like to see the process of it being created, so I journaled about it, in our journal. I had kept all of my research printouts so I used them, and I photocopied the charts I made… Read more →
I sat in front of the television for days, in complete horror. We were so close, and yet too far away. How did this happen? Read more →
All right, so this is a little redundant, but the two journal spreads turned out so different, and I like them both. I had done this spread in my latest journal, no title yet, and liked how it turned out, so I thought I would share with my Dad, and did a spread in his (see post from 6/2/08). I… Read more →
This was the first spread I did in the journal I am doing with my father. I love the swirl on the right side, and I am kind of proud of the pea pod drawing. I am a terrible sketcher, and have a hard time with perspective, so it is not great, but I think, for me, it was pretty… Read more →
I love the look of a bookSpilling openFrom all of it’s treasures. It looks so richand so full of life and love. A living, breathing treasure. Every time something new is added,It accepts it,and opens further,To expose more of its self. T.C.R. Read more →
So this is the page in my “My Art House” Journal, that inspired Home (on previous post). I really liked it, even though it is kind of silly with the swedish fish label (one of my vices). This is the first journal I made for my self. I had done lots of book-binding previously, but had made nothing for myself.… Read more →
I did this piece a few years ago. It was inspired by a page in one of my journals. I will scan that tomorrow and post it. This I called Home, and it was done on a 2″ gallery wrap canvas. I love using deep gallery wraps, you can do so much with all four sides as well as the… Read more →
These are wonderful pages by my father, in our journal. On the first page, you can see my Dad’s best friend, my Uncle Richard, “preaching” away, and some of my father’s wonderful poetry. You would never know that my Dad has not done this before. He does such great pages. On the second side there is a picture of me… Read more →
As promised, with permission from Dad, here is some of our journal. These are pages that I did after a trip to visit with my best friend and her family. There are many things to flip, open, move,and read, so I got some views of that. She took me on a surprise trip to Tahoe to gamble. We did, I… Read more →
I was watching a documentary on the severe depletion of the water table, and just getting more and more upset, and it needed to come out somehow. And this is how it did!It was done in my journal, which I now kind of regret. I think it would have been good on canvas. I ended up really liking it. It… Read more →
