    Playful journal page

    I just went for it with this page.playful page

    playful page quoteI didn’t think. I didn’t plan. I didn’t even put my apron on…which is a bummer because now I have orange paint on my pants. Did I mention I’m a messy painter?

    The other day while walking OUT of the bank…which was the last stop of my errands…I discovered that I had a clump of gel medium or maybe mod podge gluing part of my bangs together.

    Nice. So classy. Made me think of the “hair gel” scene from Something about Mary…  Perhaps I need to make a sign to hang on the door…”Look in the mirror before leaving the house.”  As you may have guessed I’m not a terribly vain or high maintenance kind of girl.

    I’m linking up with Art Journal Journey with this post. My journal page fit their theme!  IT was meant to be!

    Everything glowed

    Yesterday afternoon while searching for my heart shaped journal….which I still haven’t found…I came across 2 art journals I had started years ago. One is almost full and the second only has a handful of pages complete.

    The large butterfly image fell into my lap as I was digging around through my stash. I decided it was high time that I used it.everything glowed

    I began with gesso and paint for the background in greens and yellow. Sort of thinking rainforest  backdrop. After it dried I was convinced that it needed more color and texture. Out came the gelatos! I’m loving them…my new favorite supply! everything glowed closeup

    I went over top with a little more paint sponged through a bit of punchenella.  I searched my bin of found text until some words spoke to me.
