My bad mojo with this journal continues.
I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites. 
I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.
I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.
However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.
I know the photos look different than the actual book but, I think you might be being too critical. You’ve got some interesting shapes and backgrounds going on.
I agree with Jan. I really like these pages. And learning is the most important thing you can do with art. I’m certainly finding that out myself.
