The Joy of Simple Things: A Paper Bag Journal

Recently there was a Swap-Bot swap that featured paper bag journals, and I guess I was looking for some fresh inspiration, because before you could say Mom-what-am-I-supposed-to-put-my-sandwich in I was busy making up a new journal.

I'm teaching a class in Soul Journaling next week and then I'll be making a nice fresh watercolor journal. For now I'm having lots of fun with my paper bags. I just folded five bags in half, sewed the binding on the sewing machine, gessoed the pages for extra stability and then started painting.

This-here's the cover. I took the picture with my other new toy, the Hipstamatic app for my iPod touch. Life is complete.
