journal page

A mixer of an altered book page, masking tape, acrylic paints, collage clippings, and a little bit of self intuitive!

ENJOY THE PROCESS. 

Collage Journal...

a little peek inside...  








my little world of paint & paper.

Painted Parts

just glue it down...

Having fun with scattered paper, inviting to the eye... 
up close and personal paper-parts of a brown paper bag art journal.  

journal page

documenting life- turning inside out.

This journal page was created to help visually express how deeply those who surround us, effect our being. 

Tho, we recover and move forward... 

we do bare a moment, in time, when we feel torn "inside-out".  

An Illusion

acrylic paint

stencils

charcoal pencil drawing 

Do not be misled by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see.

You live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. 

But you are not part of that world.

~ Sai Baba

rabbit trails...

productive yes.

tying up lose ends, is not always that easy to do.  

working with textures on a very small scale (mini glue-book/round robin) 

watercolor splashes are always a delight... 

remembering a very precious moment, over this summer. (grand-baby Aydenn)

creating mail art is always inspiring and fun to deliver & receive. 

tons and tons of "word/phrase" clippings from vintage books... 

another day, another sunset. down the rabbit hole we go.

chasing the rabbit.

in the studio

chipboard panels- the process of exploring these panels continues. 

I am having a wonderful time adding multiple layers, exploring with a verity of mediums is where the excitement begins...

this chipboard panel was explored using these elements: 

gelatos, watercolors, acrylic paints, stencils, stamps, charcoal pencil, collage elements, 

and distressed inks.

FUN. FUN. FUN. 

once again, I was not searching for perfection, just exploring and allowing the mediums to guide me through the process. 

enjoy! 

in the studio...

textured panels
exploring more with these chipboard panels. 
no expectations, same attitude... different approach. 

Process:

layers of paint, ruff sandpaper, and joint compound... panels are holding up well. 

Art therapy time. 

These panels speak to me-  

showing me even after going through a difficult time; their beauty till shows through.

enjoy 

    

in the studio...

chipboard panels 
approaching these with a whole new attitude.  
with no expectations. perfection not allowed. 

exploring. playing. dreaming... art therapy time.

These chipboard panels can take a lot of abuse... I can pile on the layers. 

Texture heaven I tell you, adding tons of mediums and where it leads me... who knows!

I have a total of 8 chipboard panels: 

cut some of the boards different sizes, to add interest to the finished project. 

This just might make a wonderful art book, will post more panels as I create them. 

enjoy

childhood 

Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. 

But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.
