Art Journal


I am not feeling the need to add any words to this page...just experimenting with layers. I ruined three black pens doing the squiggles...a fine tipped sharpie,a micron and a pilot...anyone know of a pen that will write over inks,paints and oil pastels without dying? Maybe a dip pen with india ink? But I wouldn't be able to get the continuous line I am after...dip pens are so frustrating. Well at any rate...I will call this page done for now.

New Journal pages

I took a few photos of the pages I am working in my art journal, I am almost finished with the small one(5X7) and have started on a larger one that I am declaring my POSITIVE JOURNAL...no negativity allowed! I have gessoed a dozen or so pages and finally started painting on my first one, it is slow going...waiting for paint to dry....I am not the most patient person in the world.
 THREE HEARTS...acrylic paints,spray inks,oil pastels
 REGRET...spray inks,mostly scraps from the THANK You notes I send with orders.
BRAVE...acrylic paints, inks,oil pastels
and the final one is the beginning of the first page in the Positive Journal...layer upon layer of paints, still quite a ways to go but I am pleased with the progress. I am obviously not one those people who can whip out a page in an hour...much to my dismay.

I don't think these pages are done yet,more than likely I will add more details. But it feels good to get all inky!
