Tricia's notched journal

Here's a great little journal from Tricia:

The photographer's assistant has gone to bed, so I apologize for the awkward one-handed page turning in the video below.

Laura's notched journal

Today's gorgeous journal is from Laura:

Linda's notched journals

Here are two journals from Linda, full of beautiful hand painted papers:

Judith's notched journals

Judith sent two wonderful journals for the swap and each one has a different theme.

This one is the "Elefant journal" - the pages are stamped "a lot to remember"

This one is titled "My wild thoughts" and the pages are sprinkled with a variety of "wild" images.

Rose's notched journals

Rose created three lovely journals for the swap.

Watch the video to see the extra goodies she included for her lucky recipients.

Julie's notched journal

Julie created two gorgeous journals using these papers.

Here's a look inside one of them:

Leslie's notched journals (and self-portrait)

Leslie sent three beautiful notched journals made from paste papers:

Also, as I was sorting the self-portrait postcards to mail this week, I realized I had never posted Leslie's submission to the challenge.
I love the look of concentration on her face.

Tameko's notched journals

Here's a sweet little journal from Tameko:

Jan's notched journal

Here's a fun journal from Jan:

Gina's notched journal

Gina's journal pages are made from her own linocut prints and monoprints.

Cynthia's notched journal

I was finally able to enlist the help of my personal assistant and take videos of the rest of the notched journals.  I'll post two per day until you've seen them all.
They are quite magnificent, and it's really worth watching the quick videos to see the insides of these gems.

Here's a pretty one from Cynthia:

Corrine's notched journal

Take a peek inside Corrine's notched journal and you might recognize something.

Corrine used papers she received in the last two MMSA painted paper swaps!

Ellen's notched journal

I've got another beautiful journal to share with you today.

This one's from Ellen!

I love the texture of the cover paper.

 

Let's have a peek inside, shall we?

Christie's notched journals

Here are two lovely journals made by Christie:

I love the inclusion of the painted security envelopes with their little windows. (watch the video to see them!)

Dawn's notched journal

This beautiful little book of hand painted papers was made by Dawn.

I love the rounded edges on some of the pages.

Terrie's notched journals

The notched journals have started arriving and they are gorgeous!

I'm going to highlight the work of each artist separately, and include both still pictures and a video flip-through of each book.

Terrie is the artist who brought this technique to my attention and suggested we do it as a swap, so I will show you her handiwork first.

She made FOUR wonderful little books.

and now here's the video, showing you the inside pages of all four books.

(many thanks to my son Max for flipping through each page while I shot the video)
