Work in Progress Wednesday

 It delights me to see my twelve journal pages from last year all in one place.  I enjoyed the challenge.  Some ideas were more successful than others.  Some I would like to revisit.  It was a good way to use up some of my experiments collected in a box.  

I am considering binding them into a book form in a fashion that will allow them to extend out of the book.  That way the book could be mounted on a wall and each page would hang down and be visible.  I have done that previously with textile journals.  One of those journals was even juried into Grand National Quilt Show.  Some of the pages will need to be strengthened with a backing first.  

I have made so many journals in all forms over the years.  Why I ask myself.  The first response is that I simply must create.  Not every creation necessarily needs to be seen by anyone else so the journal is the perfect place.  I am not opposed to showing my journal to someone else.  As a matter of fact, I did that with my seniors last week.  They really enjoyed it.  

I wonder if there is a deeper meaning to my journal-making.  I will continue to ponder that.  I would love to come up with a reason that sounds more impressive!  In the meantime I will just keep creating!
