What an amazing class I have had with DJ Pettitt she is one truly fabulous lady that is so, so talented. At the Creative Soul Retreat I was in her class on the Saturday and we made a journal. Here are my efforts from her brilliant teaching. How on earth we managed to get as much of the journal as we all did that day is really beyond me. This class should have taken a few days to complete but we did it, well I did it. I do have a secret to share the binding and beads were done after the class was finished and it took a few drinks of the stiff kind to get me through to the end. I think DJ is going to be posting something to that effect on her blog, not sure if it has happened yet.
We used so many techniques and secrets of hers that I just can’t go through them now, but I do remember them all quite clearly.
Thank you DJ for being a great teacher these are techniques that I am going to be using for a long, long time.
These pages were made from Watercolour Paper and feel like leather when finished.

Hey there Eliza!
Thank you so much for the laughs at the retreat and the kind words about class. LOVE your book! Stopped by to tell you to go take a peek at my blog. :-)
Yes... I spilled the beans... the finished book, the crown and the bottle of Scotch.
I'm still chuckling.

DJ,
I feel so honoured to have you visit my blog and thank you for being a brilliant teacher.
I am now off to read what you have said about me........ hehehe VBG
Hi Elizabeth, firstly thanks for your comments on my blog. It is nice to have a comment from someone different once in a while. Secondly your work is amazing. DJ Petit is one person I would have loved to have learnt from. Unfortunately Melbourne is too far away and the costing of the classes is way too much. I can only give a heavy sigh that I will not get there next year. I hope you have a wonderful last half of the week.
