enjoy the process

Just thought I would give you a peek at PART of what goes on around here as I am preparing for classes...I pull out everything that I think I might want to use, and then begin to put things together.  This weekend I am teaching an altered book class, as well as a mixed media card class so I had lots of ideas, lots of goodies to "play" with...

The process IS a huge mess, but it is a lot of fun to play with all my "toys."

It all came together and here is the result of this particular process...   :)

Create something today...and enjoy the process!

the finished page

Here is the finished page (from the last post)...at least for now I am happy with it...who knows, I may add to or alter it sometime...:)  That is one of the things that I love about art journaling...just like me, the pages are always "in process".

 

 

I cut the "frame" with an exacto (a technique we worked on in my "Cut It Out!" class at Creekside Studio https://www.facebook.com/pages/Creekside-Studio/573215292765578 )...then I added a little doodling around the frame and the leaves...plus, I used the Gelly Roll stardust pen to add a bit of sparkle to the wing...you can't really see it in the photo, but its fun.  :) I also gave the polka-dot butterfly antennas with a bit of thin brown twine tied on.

 

Hope you are enjoying your summer.  :)



pages

I thought it would be fun to show you a few of the pages we "painted" in last Monday's Creekside Studio art journaling class...
Here is what we were working with... :) ...it was a very happy mess of supplies...

 

 

Some of these are finished but (as I have said before) most are still in process...I will add journaling, doodling, shading with graphite or charcoal, highlighting with white pens and/or gel pens as I am inspired...who knows...just like me, they are still in-the-making...  :)

Are you "documenting" your process?  :)

A past journal page...

A good reminder for me...
                  colors are fun too.  :)
  Happy Saturday!
