Women of Courage- round robin

I'm packing up my Altered Book for the Women of Courage Round Robin- my book is going to make it's way all the way across the country and back!

So as I type- My Joan of Arc pages are scanning-

I'm scheming of something to pack in there for Linda-It is going to be something special that a lot of people who visit my blog comment about.... I'll leave it at that.

Here's the scoop on my WOC book:

1- the cover is not completely finished- I NEVER do the cover until I'm done with the entire book- but felt as if it needed something to help see the vision. so it will get a title card or raised embellishment- but i don't want to make it too tall- because of mailing...

2-The niche in the back of the book for St Joan can be added to if anyone feels like leaving devotions to the Saint. I'm not a Catholic- but I feel such a connection to this Saint, this woman, it's pretty uncanny- She has definitely been my muse- sitting right by me as I made these pages...

3-This book is about facing your fears and listening to your inner voice- it's what Joan stands for its her badge of courage- Honor it- have no fears in creating pages in this book- explore everything you are- listen to your inner voice- let your spirit be your guide....

Only when you face your fear an move through it can you reach your goal....

so with that i leave you with the litany against fear.....

I must not fear

Fear is the mindkiller

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration

I will face my fear

I will permit it to pass over me and through me

And when it has gone past I will turn my inner eye to see its path

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing

Only I will remain
