Today I wanted to share something a little bit different, than what I normally post. There are so many beautiful artists on WordPress. One unique artist in particular (Golnaran), suggested to me that I share some of my artwork. Art has always been a passion of mine, yet in recent days, I rarely spend my time doing any kind of art. I have many things that I am passionate about and unfortunately I only have twenty-four hours in a day like everyone else. In other words, some of my passions must be put on the back burner for another day.
For now, homeschooling my girls takes up most of my time, along with taking care of my two English Mastiffs.
However, since it was brought to my attention that others might be interested in seeing my artwork; I have decided to share a few things with all of you every now and then. The following pictures are of some handmade journals, that my daughters and I created a couple of years ago for their home economics class. My sister was visiting quite a few years ago and taught me how to make one of these. And so of course, I fell in love with my journal and wanted my girls to join in the fun of making one for themselves. I wish I had taken pictures as we went along so that I could have shared a tutorial with all of you. If I decide to make another one, I will definitely capture the process the next time around so that if anybody wants to learn how to make one, I will be able to show you how.
