Darksome Night and Shinning Moon ...

Hello and big waves from Arizona and SilveryMoonbeams. I have been working every day to finish up some of the projects that have been awaiting items, materials to finish. This second journal that is shown is the result of a cleaning session in the studio, I found several of the beautiful hummingbirds from Red Moon Gardens designs, I had introduced the designs while I was testing back in July new metallic threads. This Silvermoon Garden Journal is the result of finding the panels, The first picture is the inside back flap, Showing the hand torn pages and the floral pocket, also showing the bookmark that is attached with a watch ...so you do not spend to much time in dream land.
You can see that distressed ink of the torn pages, The stamped and colored of each page, and the
gold on some of the pages.
This is the side of the journal.
The Front of the SilveryMoonbeams Journal with the Hummingbird from Red Moon Gardens designs.
This is the close up of the feathers on the bird on the back of the journal, also a closeup of the watch ....telling correct time too!
This is the front and the back of the journal showing the spine, The ribbons actually are holding the signaturers to the cover. This makes the journal pages to slide out or to slide new sheets back in....in case you want to get ride of a thought or so...
The is the inside of the flap, The freestanding lace panel is actually a book front, but heck, I love pockets so had to put a few. The penny also comes with the journal, It can only be spent on the Moon.
This is the fan out of pages of the journal.
This is not the journal that I have been working on so very long. That Journal is an Art Deco style, I am waiting on the Hunter Green Suede to come in and be shipped to me. I love the shade of this green and get an entire bolt of this and a navy, For the longest time the shipper has not been able to obtain this, He tells me it is on its way, but it must be way the Milky Way...
So I wait.
I will not be placing this journal on Esty, if, it does not sale...Well, the rule is it is mine for personal use. I normally prep air a yearly journal , I like a much smaller journal for my personal use but this journal is 6 1/2 X 9 1/2 Still not too large.
If, your interested in the purchase of this journal just drop a line and I can send other views of whatever and discuss a discount in price.
I have enjoyed the making of this little one, but....have a ton of parchment papers to be torn and colored....for the next little one.
As always,
Silvery Moonbeams to watch over you.

Hagithas Tree Goblin Journal

Greetings from Cool and delightful Arizona, been so very beautiful I have not spent much time in the studio, but enjoying the cool rain and the animals that are returning from their holiday. I happen to talk to Baby Bunny who said he is not a baby anymore and would like to be called another name, he did not say what ...but he's back and with an attitude, I hate it when he stops in the Country Club to visit his rich sister!!! What a pain he is at times. Also, Lennie the Lizard is back, his tail still short...but, that's another story. The garden is full of everything in full bloom...Lemons, Limes, Lemon Verbena, St. Johns Wort.and the list goes on and on. everything...The tree is Hagaith's tree in die cut black cardboard...Large and swirley, The holes are due to Hagaith's temper ...she missed the mark and hit the tree...but, she thinks it give the tree a really cool look, especially as it is the garden of an old hag ....

Goblin Green Journal Finished and ready to go ...This is the front of the Journal.
This is the back of the Green Goblin Journal, limited edition and a music theme.
This is the inside to view the torn pages and each left page has a cooper music score running through the page. Seems like the days are also very short to Thanksgiving and then Christmas. But, I believe my very favorite is Halloween, did I mention the candy of Halloween? No!!! oh well, any times you can go out in your normal attire , bang on a strangers door and scream Trick or Treat and then your bag gets fuller and fuller...I remember a time....long ago...not too long ago. lol!
Anyway, that the offering for this blog and I am looking forward to fall, cooler weather, and!! Candy!

And ...she danced by the light of the moon-Hagithas

Blank Pages for the Hagithas Journal ...A follow-up ...
Several pages on astrology....
She did not start out as Hagithas? Here real identity is on the birth record....Or could this be a daughter?
Tarot Card Page, was she a Tarot Reader???
Now, the rest of the story ....
Several weeks ago the Journal of "How to Burn a Witches House Down" came and went from this blog. I thought no more about it, several days ago in the mail a package turned up and

upon inspection it had a strange odor about it.

I left it in the studio unopened as I was not feeling 100 percent and decided to relax my hands and brain for a few days, though each time I passed the studio a faint odor drifted to my nostril's.

This morning up early and ready to attack my Internet, check for orders, and open recent packages...I opened the package and straight away I knew it was an old burned paper smell

that has been assaulting my nose.

Inside of the little box was a note written to me from at this time unknown. Also, falling out of the envelope was the "match" was was with the journal of How to Burn....Oh No! my thoughts were confirmed when i viewed a rather forlorn account of the owner of the house that was touched. The darkened pages and covers were burned to a crisp, flakes broke off the pages as I started to try and make an identification. The journal was made out of brown paper bags, my heart went out to this person, later I did learn that this is the latest in material to make ones journal....big surprise to me.....

You can see the front and back of the journal are extremely damaged.
A closer look of the damage to the front,
Here is a picture of the blank pages of this journal, I believe this


journal was in the making for the new year of 2009? As there are some personal items, like a birth certificate, used collection memories, old theater stubs...well, you know what one sticks in the daily diary.
This was sent to me and as I have already finished my own personal diary for 2009, I wonder if anyone out there in would be interested in Hagithas Journal, I am placing this journal as is condition up for sale to you first then to the Esty shop.

If, your interest in this heart breaking remains of the Hagithas coronal's and to use this diary for your personal diary in the year 2009, well, e:mail me and we can come to some reasonable terms for this item.

I know I should feel some remorse regarding the way this item came about, and I am sure when it really sets in I will be mortified. After all Witches are Gals just trying to have some fun!

and she danced by the light of the moon...
