{in the studio}...

I've been  inspired.  So into the studio I went to begin

a small art journal.  More on the inspiration with the completed journal.

For now a sneak peek and a look into

my creative process.

This is where I am at now.

 The book is only 6" x 3.5"

and 10 pages in length ~ counting the covers.

The layers are building and the pages are nearing their final appearance.

I still want to make a few more edits and additions before assembling the book.

But hope to have it completed soon.

The following 3 photos show the earlier beginnings.

 It can be really hard for me to cover up the lower layers as

I tend to like a simple look.

 But all the layers add a greater mysterious beauty that draws you

even deeper into the pages, so cover them up I do.  Perhaps that's why I

photograph them now so I can enjoy them too.

Except for the inspiration photo I am using only what I have on hand.

And because of  it's small size I can use up lots of remnants.

Can you see my little helpers paw?
