This is the front cover for a journal I've made. I'm going to be using the journal for Lani Gerity's "The Artist's Healing Journey" workshop. I made it out of used 8.5 x 11 brown envelopes. Took me a few weeks to collect enough envelopes to make three signatures. Then I used a slightly larger envelope for the front cover. Sewed it together, decorated it and "voila"! I like how soft it is, and how well the envelopes take paint and glue and still hold up.
Despite a couple of weeks of battling fatigue, I have been trying to be creative on weekends and get a few projects done. Pictured below is a sketch of my youngest son - an assignment for my art course, Lesson 3 on drawing the human face :) My first attempt at sketching a face since high school art class (Grade 9, way too many years ago). I have to say I enjoyed the challenge and, 
although there is definitely room for improvement, I wasn't too displeased with the results! Now back to the lessons and practice, practice, practice!
