Here is my March shabby journal page. The theme was flowers, so I added some of my vintage millinery flowers. I like how this turned out. The color was so strong, so I went over it in a painterly way with gesso and I really like the effect.
I finally squeezed in some art time, and this is an envelope for a mail art swap in my group.
Phew! It's been a crazy two weeks of deadlines and bad colds, but I think it may be winding down. I have created lots of new pieces in the meantime for a showing, so have a few to offer in my shop. I just listed these two, so I hope you'll take a peek and share some thoughts, I always appreciate that......I always appreciate YOU!
Here is a visual journey of my altered book with my dear friend Lenna that we have been working on for the last two years! Lenna has finished my book, and I have yet to finish hers. I hope you enjoy seeing my book pages here done by both of us....this was a fabulous project and I have to thank Lenna with all my heart for being so patient, and for opening up this incredible world of mixed media ART to me a while back.
Here is a little shabby journal page that I did for a group swap last month, the theme being hearts. I always love the Paper Whimsy images, they easily work together with my imagination. The stamp is from Invoke Arts, I bought a long time ago, also probably my favorite sentiment.
There is just something about turquoise that I have always loved, in every form and color. It's richness and intensity alone makes me feel so good. The fact that these stones come from the ground makes me feel so connected to the earth as a whole, one soul, and it begs me to create with it. I put that together with some other favorite components of mine, and it's like a little bit of heaven.
