It’s a miracle – I got to go to Journalfest 2011! Sometimes miracles feel like a lot of work, but in the end a miracle is a miracle and who is gonna say no to that? Getting to Journalfest was a major part of the experience! I left Denver in a heavy snowstorm, getting de-iced [...]

Is It Done Yet? More Thinking Outside the Book…
You saw the beginnings of this page in the previous post (at the very end). My question is, “Is it done yet? or am I just in the middle? Maybe I could add more of the ribbon across the top. Or more text, maybe white on the darker patches of purple. Did I leave too [...]
Art Journal Every Day – Keeping me Busy – Keep an Art Journal
Art Journaling Every Day is keeping me on my toes and a number of journals in play. This is one of my favorite pages to date. The background is water color spritzed while wet, causing the runs. The cityscapes are collaged on with painted pages from a Korean textbook and some Thai newspapers. I gessoed [...]
Class notes – again
I added this row of birdhouses to the pockets. Still think they need something more. Feels like they are just floating in space there. Maybe shadows. Maybe I should just start a new collage using the birdhouses. The row of birdhouses actually exist at the funkiest bar and grill in Everglades City. Can I remember [...]
Art Journaling Every Day – Keep An Art Journal
Motivation is low when the temperatures are low – just want to hibernate. February started out in the minuses, as in minus seven degrees – AAACCCKKK! I had to do something! So I joined up with Julie Fei-Fan’s online Art Journaling Every Day. And I find myself motivated again. Whew. The idea of Art Journaling [...]
Sketchbook Challenge February – Opposites – I have an Idea!
Growing in confidence now as I daringly did a sketch and painted it right in the sketchbook! I know, I know, that is what a sketchbook is for – still seems daunting to me. The theme “Opposites,” is tricky in my mind. I could go light and dark or soft and hard or you name [...]
Art Journaling Club – Teaching Myself Teesha 3
Moving right along in the process the next You Tube video Teesha Moore Journaling Part 2 of 4 continues demonstrating Teesha’s technique with bordering the pages and begins to add focal collage images – now the fun really begins. When I got to this part I worried that it would feel kind of like an [...]
New Journal Pages – Keep an Art Journal
These new pages are a combination of collage on painted and stamped pages with decorative tape and some stickers. My journaling i.e. writing, has dried up the last couple of days. Maybe because I have been blogging and writing the newsletter my writing needs have been met this week. In the meantime I will keep [...]
Art Journaling – the art
Sometimes I get to having so much fun with blogging I forget to post my art! I am having a lot of fun with my journaling these days. I’ve been working in what I call my VSB – Very Small Book. I made the book in my Kelly Kilmer workshop in Arizona and while making [...]
