I am in awe. Your art lifts off the page/canvas/paper and into imagination – art that inspires art.

Again, wow.

How different it must be to create art that isn’t followed by applause? Then again, and thankfully, the quiet joy that can be achieved in the heart by what one has “created” (or helped create in my case) isn’t always (and perhaps, not often, now that I reflect) linked to the reaction of others.

Still, you deserve much praise for the achievements of your journeys.

(Hmmm…a little deep for a Saturday morning…must be something your art brings out in me. I’ll neeed to shake this off with some more coffee before heading out into the real world…)

Thanks everyone!

Kate – the pages are stiffened with Pellon stabiliser and the covers have an additional stabiliser in the form of pages from a kids’ board book.

It’s good to have it finished – it was becoming albatross-like in its inertia.

Arlee – sometimes you just have to decide to do it and finish the job without agonising over things. Go intuitive! You’ll be surprised by the results.

AHA! I was going to ask how you stiffen the pages–and you answered–brilliant idea! You’re so inspiring. Have to stop over-thinking mine and just DO. Thank you–for the beauty and the motivation!

Just love the crisp finish – how did you stiffen the pages? Love it, it’s really fab. The windows are brilliant. Well done Vicky.
