January Giveaway from Cynthia Mooney

January's Portland Art Collective giveaway is a fabric journal made by Cynthia Mooney. The cover ties together and is held by a red button.

Scraps of colorful fabrics are sewn together in quilt-fashion with additional fabric appliques. All are free-motion stitched in place.

The inside cover is just as pretty with Lenox printer's paper signatures. The giveaway includes one of her mini-palettes full of watercolor paints.

Those interested in keeping a journal may want to take one of Cynthia's journal making classes. She also teaches journaling techniques. You can see more of her work on her blog Here. To win this beautiful journal, comment on this post. Winners will be notified the end of January.

    A sweet little journal and artist's pallette of colors...what more could a girl ask for. Please put my name in the hat.

    I so loved meeting several of you from the PAC at your Open Doors Show last month. Your talent, individually and combined, is awesome and inspiring!

    Love the attention to detailing on the journal - how very beautifully done. Did you use Fimo for the watercolor wells? Cute idea!

    The journal is absolutely stunning...it makes a non-journaler like myself WANT to journal - and to have it sitting out to look at. What creative genius!

    Add brush, will travel. Now there are no excuses not to create, everything is there at your fingertips, and beautifully, I might add! If only you could wear it on a chain.

    ooooo! What a fun little journal with some of my favorite Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I loved the journal we made in your Art and Soul workshop several years ago and wish you would instruct there again! Now you have branched out into fabric. It really sounds like your Portland art group is a very fine experience.

    The book looks wonderful and who wouldn't want to win it? But what really caught my eye was the watercolour tin ... what's the stuff in the bottom and how can I make one? Both inspiring!

    Two things I love to include in my art work is texture and color.... this journal fits the bill perfectly. The travel paintbox is so clever! I have just begun to journal and would love to do some painting and writing in this one.
