Making a Comeback

I've been away from this Blog longer than I would have liked to; but life and all that comes with living sometimes take first chair. 
I hope to post and let you all see some of the books and book art that I am doing in the few minutes I can grab here and there.  Please let me know that you have come by so I can be encouraged to push myself harder to continue making art and keeping up this blog.
Here are a little of what I have been making.  Enjoy

These are from my collage journals:

Small collage works of art is one of my new

art journals.  I purchased a spiral bound mixed media journal in which I decided to venture into making small collage pieces to fill its pages.
I am working on a canvas fabric covered and embroidered cover that I intend to glue to the back and add beads, and a belt that I have transformed with embroidery and fabric to coordinate with the back.  Here are pictures of the journal in its natural state, embroidered cover and belt before it is glued to the journal; also the collage piece is #1 in the journal.
