Now, I looked all over around here for the materials, and there Chaska had written out a perfect materials list, but folks around here didn't have the correct things, and I got to thinking about all the gas money just to get to Michael's and back, NEVER MIND how dangerous it is to let me loose in a store like that, so I said to myself," Dearest Self, we must get clever here and make do with what we have got:. "Not a problem." replied me, and off we, er, I, went.
First: I rolled up a piece of cardboard and taped it:
Then I snipped a circle with tabs for the bottom
And used some shipping newsprint with gel medium as if I was putting papier mache over all:
Half way done:
I added some flowers cut from thick paper, for texture:
And colored tissue on top of that for some color:
These are not Chaska's instructions. Don't follow all this if you want to make what she did. This is just, well, my mind's eye says that this will be great, you just maybe don't know that yet.

I couldn't follow Kathryn Antyr's directions either on her Soul Journaling blog. But I had a great time:
I want to be a Soul Journaler when I grow up.
And a doll maker.
And a writer,
collager,
swimmer,
traveller,
vessel-maker,
ATC-ist,
and mixed media art quilt "seamstress" (That's most of them).
Well then, I'll be on about it then, yes?
