the amazing and brilliant seth apter of the altered page is hosting paper stacks, an online collaboration, starting this very day. you can see how stacked he is here: http://thealteredpage.blogspot.com/2011/09/stackoholics-anonymous.html
to be totally honest, i’ve been so sucked into “the first two weeks of home school mode” while also getting our house painted (HUGE drama there) that i didn’t even know about this until today when dave of clearer reflections emailed to to ask “hey, where’s your stack!?” whoops! but of course i could never ever pass this up so here are some of my stacks.
first, a stack of journal pages, waiting to be completed and bound into book form along with a small handful of collages:
aerial journal page stack view:
this is a book i started last year, with stacks of ghostly pages. someday i will complete this book and share it with you — all true “ghost stories” and other creepy facts:
and lastly, a stack of fabric covered journals i made last year that i have since sold (except for the top one, which i gave to my dear, sweet friend jilly of jazworks — i love that girl!):
how stacked are you? (i’m off to find out now!) go to seth’s blog (linked above) and you can see bazillions of other gorgeous stacks too!

All three of your stacks are so inviting. Those journal pages are sensational even before being bound. Glad Dave gave you the heads up!

Oh! I must go check this out right away! Well, when I stop giggling about the word “stacked” and my dirty birdy mind. Thanks for sharing. I need to change the email address I get notifications from Seth’s blog from because I always miss them!

good morning my sweet jilly,
i am a conundrum indeed. when i create art to share, it’s pretty much void of color (except red) but my art journals that no one is supposed to see are pretty darn colorful indeed. AND, i’ve just created last week something SO colorful for you — you may faint when you see it. of course i hope you don’t for real. i lovelove your post and stacks too, by the way. yummy stuff!!

When I saw your stack of hand painted paper, I though how colorful and artistic these pages are. I love them. Sorry I’m late arriving, but I’ve been taking a long look at all the stacks.
