April showers bring May flowers for all who plant seeds. Every seed grows. Plant what you want to harvest. Take your peace in the cornucopia of your creation.

Just finished these up last night and I LOVE how they came out! Used tempera paint sticks, acrylic paint markers, gold spritzer, and various extras for accents/details.

My sister got pandan cake and I have kept the packaging cos I think it'll be nice to make marks or stamps with. Maybe I'll use some clay to make a handle or something so they're easier to hold.
Anyway I got a protector for my iPad too and it came with this neat envelope. I am not sure what to do with it but I want to use it. Maybe the centre of a journal signature? I want to keep the text visible and it's already a pocket ... But I'm open to ideas! #papercraft #junkjournal #junkjournals

I know y'all prefer my illustrative art over my crafting, but this is what you get for following me--ALL my interests. :P

More junk journals! I told myself I wouldn't do more binding with beads but come on, look at it! It looks so good! It's worth the pain and effort...sometimes lol

Made three more junk journals today to work through my stash, which still doesn't seem any smaller. In fact, it has gotten bigger, as I finished a box of Cheerios and that has been added to my pile. 😂

I am in love with these scissors! They are Fiskars RazorEdge Micro-Tip Easy Action Scissors (6") and I just got them, since my arthritis hands weren't doing so well with regular scissors. They are fabulous! I cut out allllll those little snippets today!

I've started #scrapbooking & making #JunkJournals - so these are a godsend.

What happens if I cross an old book? Well, some of you might start to dislike me for this, but I cut them up ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Here's an older gardening book that I gutted and upcycled the cover for two new Junk Journals ✨

#Creative beside #painting I enjoy making #JunkJournals. Yes, it's a thing. I even hand sew spine #BookBinding.

#Boost appreciated💙

I’m working on a book commission and am loving how it’s going! #artistbooks #junkjournals Some sneak peeks:
