Junk Journal July : Part 3. And what's next?

I've been really happy to have participated in Junk Journal July 2023. I was inspired by the small accordian format - mine measures 15cm high x 12 cm wide.

Above is the list of prompts, and below are my responses for prompts 21-31. I used the idea of Tiffany's interpretation of an earlier prompt for my Contrast page, and then had a bit of fun with the pocket prompt. I attached an offcut of printed vellum as a pocket and inserted a wee stencil figure from Leaca Young with pockets ♥ as well as a couple of lovely handmade tags - delicious leftovers from this project.

Obviously I haven't been looking ahead at what prompt is next. This very vintage page features a favourite photo of my Mum and Aunty as children, and then the next prompt was photo. 

I got a bit off track with the prompts at this point with other family commitments taking some time, but I was loving the challenge and working in this book so much, I've just taken an extra week to finish up.

See the playlist of prompts and demos on youtube here. I believe these will remain up on youtube so won't matter when you are reading this if you want to check some out for yourself. You can see my other blog posts about this project by clicking these links : Part 1 and Part 2

I also decided to do a video flip through too : 

Overall July was a productive month in terms of finishing projects. Look back at my blog posts to see my finished Stitched Garden Roll and a lovely book project which combined some fodder school lessons from a couple of different teachers. 

Wishing you time for creativity in the month ahead. I am looking forward to inspiration from Francisca Nunes' collaborative Flowers Magic Art Fest 2023. You can still sign up HERE

As you can see, it's an outstanding line up of teachers. Although it is still Winter here in New Zealand, I hope to get lots of ideas to fill the journal I made with Francisca last year

August is our last Winter month and I am looking forward to Spring and an increase in my art time - already I can see that the daylight hours are starting to lengthen a little. Don't forget I post more regularly on my Instagram and Facebook Artist's page.
