Journaling
Newest journal. Another one I've made. This one is about 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 leather with 140lb watercolor paper pages. I love making my own journals and love working on the watercolor paper.
And here is the most recently finished (I think) page in this little journal.
When I start having mental blocks with my art work or journaling I like to make these little smooshed painting things. Remember when you were in grade school, you'd take a sheet of paper, fold it in half, open it back up, smear paint on the page then refold and smoosh it all together then pull apart. Was always one of my favorite things to do in art class.
I've been working on more little houses. Like these that I did for
artfest trades. Haven't gotten pics of the new houses but will before they go to the gallery for display.
And speaking of the gallery, finally got a pic of my wall
this was before the show at the Cold Creek Winery and we have changed the wall a bit. I've hung more paintings and rearranged a little.
Have joined another yahoo group. This one is theartjournal started by Ricë Freeman-Zachery. I joined last night and need to go check out all the entries. Looks like it might be a good journaling resource.
Off to start my day.
