This is in my first journal that is the closest to “finished” that I have in that there is paint or SOMETHING on every page.
When I stamped the butterfly on this page, I didn’t realize that I had the book upside-down. This is the type of thing I’m loving…how what I would have thought of as a mistake in the past is something to investigate and make something out of.
The closest thing to a “love letter” I have sent in a VERY long time is the words to the Sugarland song “Shine The Light”. I sent it to my best friend at Xmas to remind him that I will always be here for him no matter what.
I’m not usually a very abstract sort of person, but I had a LOT of fun with this…the colors, playing with shapes…I almost don’t miss journaling all over it!
As I have been residing in the desert for over a year, I miss trees SO MUCH! My “somewhere” is cool and dark and shady…
New page from a larger journal.
Playing with the idea of journaling about me.
Left page, mostly from stencils about my dryad self.
Right page about my 2nd Mom and how she is Dorothy…
The week 2 prompt for Journal 52 is (was?) “a Simple Place” and it was supposed to be in by LAST Sunday night, but I wasn’t in the moment I suppose. I have been working on it some, and will have it (and week 3’s “Makes Me Smile”) by THIS Sunday. I’ll post them both here…
I’m trying a double spread for “A Simple Place” and perhaps I’m a bit intimidated by so much space? NAH! I certainly feel like I’ve pretty much outgrown my mini journal and it isn’t even done. I seem to be expanding my art space needs while I shrink…
Interresting!
This is my first week in Journal52 and I like the idea so far. Clearly, posting/showing my work to others is a new thing for me, but I want to learn more and grow in my art, so I’m doing it anyway…
I found out how velum curls when you try to glue it, and used tape dots for the second piece. Live & learn!
Worked on this during an interminable work meeting. This is the type of thing that keeps me from stabbing people out of boredom!
