I haven't worked in my Moleskine journal since August, and it was nice just to take a break and work from the heart. A good friend -who just also happens to be my sister - urged me to get the book "Introverts in the Church" by Adam S. McHugh. The subtitle is "Finding Our Place in an Extroverted Culture" and although I've just completed the first chapter, I have to say it has been a tonic to my soul. This journal spread incorporates a passage from the first chapter. I used various pens, sumi, and paper scraps from other projects. You can read more about the book at Amazon by clicking here.

I made these cards after reading/viewing this post at sweet Lori Vliegen's blog. These cards are such fun to make! The broad edge lettering was done with a Speedball 2 and the pointed lettering with an Esterbrook 355. I used Moon Palace Sumi throughout.
We have been undergoing some tech problems lately, but I think we will get it worked out soon. I apologize for not getting around to see what fabulous things everyone has been up to.
Wishing you a wonderful, flourishy weekend.
Stay warm; it has been freezing here!!

Hi Jane - the book looks interesting and I can see it inspired a heartfelt response from you in your Moleskine. When I used to do a lot of teaching I often worked with overseas students - particularly Japanese and I found it interesting how different cultures viewed shyness.
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty chilly here too - a lot of snow for the time of year - at least it helped inspire my Christmas card! Rx.
Jane,
ReplyDeleteTO DIE FOR!!! What else can I say?!? Love the cards AND the lettering on the envelopes, your work is spectacular! xoxo
