This is a pocket I created for Shakti's color Me Happy journal. Instead of sending a completed journal around, she sent all participants a pre-cut pocket to work with.The background for my pocket is done in watercolour crayon (Caran D'Ache Neocolour), which I scribbled on then "painted" and fixed with baby wipes. I love this technique. It'S so simple. but the colors are stunning and you can achieve lots of gradients and effects with next to no effort. Over that I stuck scraps of lampmaking fleece left over from another project.
I then punched some holes around the edge of the pocket and sewed on eyelash yarn and big, bright leafy sequins.My leftover box contained a few sentiments from a paper pad, so I painted over some cards and stuck them on before popping then into the pocket, so it wouldn't seem so bare.

...Glorious colours! This Journal is turning out to be the very best one in 2006!And thanks to the format. I just love the uneven finished chunk of original art!
Have a very Interesting 2007, and I do hope that some of the projects you shared a while back will come true for you!
A warm hug,
Shakti.
I feel happy looking at this!
