art journals

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 





 



 



 

 

 

so I've been working in

journals

I still can't believe

how quickly the time goes by

while I work

or the amount of work I

can get done in an

hour

 

my little garden is

blooming

even the vines

and the butterflies, bees and hummingbirds

enjoy it as much as I do

 

 on Instagram

 artists are challenging others

to #drawthisinyourstyle

so I tried a couple

 

 also i'm starting a mixed media journal group

at work

we will be making art journals

out of composition books

and experimenting with

paint, markers, collage,

inside

 

loving:

that cross stitch chicken pattern

cloud shadows

thunder and lightning

The Crown on Netflix

new tires on my car

 

 





 



they kinda don't listen

 



 





 

 









 



 

 

I started out this week

making a paper mache

boat

I found the pattern on ann wood handmade

in her free patterns

I had everything I needed

so I just got started

I made the boat one morning

the sails the next

 the elven king took me most of the day

on sunday

he was made from

salley mavor's book

felt wee folk

I thought he looked better

with a blank face

so I just left it like that

I really love how it turned out

 

then I started the two girls

wanting to use the same colors on both

splitting  a butterfly

for each

 I had a totally different plan

for them

but as usual

they kinda don't listen

I liked the plainness of no

background

so I just stopped after the

finishing touches

and felt happy with them both

 

im gonna have to start

hanging my art

since it's taking up my working

space

 

I did get out some this week

since it was cooler

in the mornings

 

loving:

pretty blue skies

fluffy white clouds

coffee with my houseguest

escaping to the shadowrealms

loud booming music

 

 

 

 











still making stuff

 

 

 

 

I've gone from up to down

happy to sad

bad to good

life is hard

 I just keep trudging on

sigh...

 

I painted another girl for my

yellow series

cross stitched a Pikachu

got another row ready to put together

for my quilt

the dogs all joined in on that

 

mr. darcy got a new

haircut

quite poodley :)

 

loving:

library books

lots of sleep

rainy days

watching The Crown

air conditioning
