Must clarify something and I am sure you will have figured it out by now. I have my own set of rules for grammar and spelling. They work for me even though others may have difficulty with them. It keeps things creative and interesting. Do have to apologize  for the last post having missing words and double words.  I must have been tired. Will try to do better with that.

I am knee deep in doing my latest tag for #52tagshannemade challenge.  

This photo show the placement I was working on. I was not happy with this one as there were an even number of rings. Odd is better as it is more pleasing to the eye.

So I added a fifth little circle up in the right corner and changed the placement of the other rings. 

    as well as the paperclip tags (embellishments.)

This is the finished product. I am really liking the plastic paperclip. I also use clothing tags in many of my works. The bit of lace in authentic vintage. 

Here you can see the embroidery and seed bead I use to help the light pink be more visible. The flowers (pink) is paper and the yellow is silk. I used safety pins to attach the fabric to the paperclip. The paperclip embellishments will be for sale once I fish about five of them.

This is the start of the next embellishment. I am using a portion of a authentic vintage handkerchief. The lace is contemporary lace. Have no idea where I am going from this point. Will post photos when I have made some progress.

This is the front cover of the latest journal. it measures 5" X 8 1/2 " X 1 1/2 spine. and has two signatures consisting of twenty pages each. The cover is painted fabric over a hard cover.  

I am also working  on a  new junk journal (am taking my time with this one. Has been over a month since I started it). 

This is the back cover.

 

I am still working on this one and have many more pages to construct.

Busy day. Doing this as well as making chicken veg. soup for dinner. still need to go to the store for celery (not a big challenge there as we have a market directly across the street).   Help deliver meals to residents of my building (Restaurants in my city have been donating lunch each Saturday to those who sign up for them). We have had Turkey cheese sandwiches from a grommet sandwich shop (came with the fixings including dessert), Turkey sliders, chips, and cookie, Chicken enchilada (2), rice and beans with chips and salsa, and today will be Hot Turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. It makes the extra time at home go by faster. It is something to look forward to. 

I am calling it a day. Write more another day. Take care.
