I created a new secret pocket journal from an old paper fold idea. Six collages fit inside. The people in these collages all came from a very old book. The dealer in Seattle was selling each book page for 50 cents. I got a bunch of them after sorting through for the ones I wanted. I have altered some of them to fit my needs. The pages were first published in the late 1800s. I found a bunch of monkey wallpaper on the internet and am using pieces in many of my most recent collages. I love monkeys.
Speaking of them I had a surprising adventure with a monkey in 1983. I was visiting Indonesia where we went on a tour at a monkey forest. We bought some peanuts to feed the monkeys. It did not take long for them to spy those nuts. Before I knew it I had a monkey attached to the front of my shirt and before a blink of the eye that monkey had the whole bag of nuts. Greedy little guy but very resourceful. I think he must have done that before. I was sure surprised though.

Your covers with the gelli print layers are so gorgeous!
Makes me want to hunt up the gelli's but then I revert
to collage as it's handy & ready to use. Lazy may be the right term?
I am also enjoying seeing snippets of our shared papers.
Your work is amazing, as always. Love that stamp!
Wow! These are fantastic!!! I can't wait to see these in real life! Wonderful! I LOVE these!!!
I agree jacki! I love the cover- colors and creative use of stenciling. It almost has a fabric look to it. I am a very lucky person as John sent this to me of rmy birthday!
