If parchment paper gets too covered in ink or doesn’t as affective after repeated uses, what do you do with them?

This music makes me want to write about a guy in an overcoat and a dame set in a Noir detective story in the 1940's 😊

Your color usage is spectacular. Subtle and yet vibrant when needed. . Each page layout could easily be individual paintings on the wall. Really thank you for sharing. your work. Would love to see your book altering process. Plus your use of simple classical music and no dialogue suits the journal so well.

@@karenmichel Wonderful. I thought you might have made a collage book for the purpose. It seems nice to flip through the book so you get an overview of your images. I’m wondering if I could make a book on thin paper and only stick the images on one side. Love it 💖🙏💖😊
