Paper Stacks!

Over on Seth's blog The Altered Page he put out a call for participants to show their paper stacks. Several bloggers have showcased their journals. And I have journals! I don't always use them, but I love to make them and once my studio was rearranged, I can actually display them! These are not all, but they were toppling so I only grabbed the ones I use frequently. Not all are paper, in fact most have fabric covers. The only one I didn't make is the one on the top of this picture; it is a moleskine book that I purchased for traveling. If you look closely and upside down you will see one of my favorite binder clips from KnockKnock that reads "crap". I have others, but this is the mildest one!
This one on top is my idea journal which contains envelopes, patterns, drawings, directions, etc. and is my "go-to" journal for some of my art:
Technically not a stack, but the spines themselves are worthy of a photo:
And a top view:

    Brilliant - exotic, faraway, mystical and magical look to them - so cool that you have a place to show them - you must love to just gaze at them! What a lovely passion.
