The Silou Twins return

More journal pages

This is Pippin.

He is a music man that can make music wherever he goes.

This is a silhouette that I have been playing with. She has a twin on the opposite side of the page. More on this as it develops. :)

Mixed media journal pages

Ingredients: my drawing, rubber stamps, wallpaper, copper tape, smoke bush leaves, purchased leave skeletons and leaf stickers, walnut ink, crayons, pastels, decorative paper and a little acrylic paint. Quite a potpourri of elements, don't you think? I think its finished. It is at a place where I like anyway.

I made a journal bag

I used canvas, cheesecloth acrylic paint and walnut ink, split rings and an old strap I stole off another bag. I used a Scottish pin from my mom to adorn the front. I will likely work on it some more as its not completely done yet but I was keen to show it off. :)

The back

Open to the journal. The cover slips into a sleeve.

Next step of my ATC Showcase

My ATC Showcase is going to be mounted on a canvas board. I am in the middle of painting the pieces and I piled them up to see how it is going to look. I like it!

Playing with a new page from my hat journal and I caught the Jester looking at the new girl in town. :) Hee hee hee.

Da Vinci Inspiration

Background is inspired by a wine bag my friend Janet gave me in chocolate and pinks. The face is Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. The hair is beautiful silk embossed paper. Part of my journal everyday in January that Misty Mawn through out a challenge for.

A work in progress, this background is watercolours done very wet and covered in Saran wrap.

Something else I am working on. It is an ATC showcase.
Ingredients so far, Canvas paper, 300 lb watercolour paper, molding, prints of my journal pages.

January Challenge ~ Journal Everyday

Painting anything that gets in my way. LOL! This is a clipboard I got from my dad.
The letters are Tim Holtz's Grungeboard collection and very cool! The letters were painted with a base coat of light molding paste before I layered on the colours. This gives them a great gnarly texture.


Igor is inspired by artists Lynne Hoppe and Kellie Gillette. Letting go and having fun in my 7" square journal.

My backyard in the moonlight and Frida and Keiko (my standard poodle). Misty Mawn is having a January journal challenge again. What a great way to perk up a grey month. Thanks Misty!

Secret Sunday and the Pulse

Go to the Altered Page to see Seth Apter's "The Pulse" and Artist Survey. Seth is always doing such interesting projects and this one is no exception.

I have participated and have a blurb published this Sunday for his Secret Sunday Surprise

"The Jellyglian"

My art secret to success is my fearlessness to create which is helped by working in my art journals. After playing in my journals I loose my inhibitions and relax and create freely especially if I don't over think about what I am doing.

Here is the start of the Jellyglian. I was just playing with background textures using a paper towel when I "saw" this wild and wonderful creature. :)

The Eyes Have It :)

I love eyes and have been playing about doing portraits from reality or my imagination. Its probably not hard to pick out which is which. ;)

Umami!

I love the freedom to play in my journals!
