journal pages

Hello,

How’s it going?

Any news?

I seem to be eating, breathing, sleeping art journaling right now. I have so many fun pages on the go, so many ideas for new ones, and so many ideas for other stuff related to art journaling, that my head is spinning.

These are the pages I have managed to finish in the last couple of weeks:

To God with love: This was my interpretation of an exercise in the art of wild abandonment class on sketching your feelings. To make the page, I used acrylics, inks, stamps, stencils, scrap paper, paper towels, pens and rub ons.

She walked with spring in her steps: This is another one for the wild art class. This time the objective was to make a page on what we bring with us on our journey this spring. This page was made using water soluble crayons, acrylics, inks, stamps, stencils, scrap papers, pens and rub ons.

Sharing the love: This one was made after I saw Aoife’s collage of scraps (top left). I love that we share this love of creating and quite happily sit and paint or collage together at the breakfast bar whenever we have the chance. I could also learn from her free and easy style. No over-thinking, just doing. I tried to emulate that in my own 2 minute collage down the bottom. The background is acrylics with acrylics and inks stamped and stencilled into it, with a whole lot of rub ons to finish it off.

A house built on love: Excuse the colour. It’s completely off and I can’t get it right no matter what I do. Anyway…This page was made on a collage of book pages, etc, using water soluble crayons, acrylics, inks, pens, rub ons, stamps, stencils, scrap paper, embroidery floss, buttons, and tissue tissue paper.

I chose not to share the journaling on this one, which I did all over the top half, as it’s kind of personal. You will see it in place when I’ve finished the journal, because I hope to do a video journal flip.

Have a great weekends friends.
