| Three signatures in the Ingrid/John collaboration |

| one of Ingrid's spreads |
About two years ago when I was taking a Jane Davies online workshop I met a wonderful artist,
Ingrid Petrini who lives in Sweden. Ingrid and I started emailing. Then we became members of a international ATC group. Our last endeavor was to create spreads in signatures that had a barn theme. Over the past year I created 13 spreads in Ingrid's journal and she completed 12 in mine. We mailed the signatures back and forth and now we are done with this amazing experience. After a bit I know we will start another collaboration together. You can see all of my barn themed spreads in past blog posts.
The cover for the spreads was created several years ago. I never had anything to bind in it. It turned out to be the perfect cover for our barn signatures. It is faux leather made out of a grocery bag, paint, and stick-on letters and numbers. After gluing on the letters I sewed over them....not an easy task since they are raised. I loved how the cover turned out as it really finishes off this project.
