    Sweet Season

    20130406_1706After our snow yesterday…yes you read that correctly…snow on April 5th, I guess I wanted to remind myself that a new season is actually upon us.

    It is Spring according to the calendar and before we know it, the weather will be hot and humid.

    When I started this journal page I had no idea where it was going. 20130406_1705

    I spread my super thin, lame gesso over the pages in my Watkins cookbook journal then kept adding layers of paint and stamping.

    Next I wanted to try out some molding paste applied through a stencil…a technique I’ve seen several times on YouTube videos. I love the texture it adds. I’ll definitely be trying that one again!20130406_1708

    I used water and walnut ink to age this library card which is placed on top of a bit of a forest scene magazine page. Love it when things like that work out.

    Still looking for more texture I glued down a bit of flower trim.

    I am incredibly happy with 20130406_1704the way this one turned out.

    And look..the sun is even shiny bright today promising that the Season is actually changing.

    Mixed-media “Courtship”

    I’ve been staring at this piece for a good week now trying to figure out if it’s done.

    I kept thinking that it needed some words.

    Now I’m thinking that words are not needed. Just like it works with love in the real world.

    Words aren’t necessary, you just know.
