Stop, start...

I really admire people who are able to keep amazing workbooks, full of drawings, collages, ideas etc. I am a bit spasmodic with such activities, having bursts of enthusiasm, then it all fades and I don't do anything for awhile. Recently I did managed to complete such a workbook, and even started on another one. My workbooks take on different forms each time, simply to make it interesting.

My current workbook is a stapled book which has been lying around for some time. I am painting on only the right side pages, and placing a quote on the left side. I am doing the quotes on labels as the painting on the other side of the paper usually leaks through to this side.

Here are three completed pages:

Quote: Time flies, remember you must live.

Quote: The mountains can't grow any bigger, but we can... Jim Dorman.

Quote: The best way to get a good idea is to get lots of ideas.

And here is a selection of some of my completed workbooks:

    Gorgeous! Can't wait to see the fiber work that develops from these though they stand on their own.

    Those are wonderful. I think you should publish them in a book. They would teach a lot.
