And, more journal pages from ROD #2


I used parts of a Sara Midda calendar (it felt like sacrilege to tear that thing up). The espadrilles on the above page spread are from her book: Sara Midda's South of France. She lived and painted for a year there. It's one of my favorite art books.



The word 'sing' was masked with tape, then the black fabric was painted with metallic acrylic paints.


More Sara Midda, and 500 rubles. Wonder what that's really worth. 

Yes, I know. Too much Mona. But I like Mona. A lot!

  4. Thank you, thank you all. I used Sara M.'s calendar in the journal, so I wasn't brave enough to take the actual book apart. I wish she had a blog, or website.

    I am getting such a kick of inspiration from all the Remains of the Day journalmakers, from Mary Ann, and Mona, too!

  5. Nice Pages! I love the polka dots! Must find some for my pages. I'm a Sara Midda fan from way back too! I actually bought more than one copy of her books and I *might* be brave enough to use some of her artwork in my next signature - thank you for the idea!

  6. Cutting up the "precious" stuff seems to give it new life. It pulls it out of storage limbo and puts it back into circulation again. Calendar pages that have had their month come out to shine on yet another day.
