More Pages From the Book

As the year ends today, many of you will be starting new yearly art journals. I hope you do. Don't forget to use it tomorrow.

Sketchbook

A page from my sketchbook.I was cleaning up this morning and found some barely used charcoal pencils. So I sat down and drew this face before the tasks of the day took me away from art. Making time to draw is a challenge for
all of us.

Pages From the Book

Today I got photos taken of some of my pages from my art book. Some feature my hand carved rubber stamps. Some I painted. Some I collaged. Mixed media for sure. So much ephemera passes through my hands each day. I try to tuck some of it into my book for future use. So much to do, so little time. I wish I had 6 hands and 2 bodies.

I Found My Art Book

Today I was making a video of things in my room and I found my Art Book and featured some of the pages in this video: So I hope you enjoy it. Yay for Art Journaling.

Collage

I like the way my new collage on wood came out. Maybe I can have the printer put it on postcards. That would be awesome. This is the way it looked last night, but I added more to it today. I'm letting the Mod Podge dry now.

I'm not sure what 'ping my default' means but I guess I'll find out when I hit send.

The week sure went by quick. I had a lot more planned but didn't have the energy to do it. My hands are still sore from woodcarving, and so I've had to lay off the knitting and crocheting. I'm looking forward to the weekend. My daughter may visit. We'll see.

I am sacred

My first page in my new art journal.

Assorted Papers Art Journal

First I wasn't doing any art journals, and now I see to have three going at the same time.

This is the one I put together yesterday. I just worked on two of the pages and the glue is drying right now so I can't move them. But you can see what the book looks like so far.

The horsehead bead on the cover is carved bone.

Suziblutube talks about art journals.

I have no idea where my art journals have gotten off to but this video reminded me of them.

Take Two

Well folks, here's the story. I made the art book...got about 20 pages into it, at which time my camera died. Finally got a new camera, then I couldn't find the art book. But I like the idea so much, that as soon as I get a chance to buy a new sketch book I'll start all over again.
