    Feeling inspired

    February 15, 2014 - By 

    Ever have a day and you wake up feeling inspired? That was how I felt this morning. I popped out of bed, started coffee, had a little quiet time and yoga. I headed off to the basement with my mind set to create.

    I wasn’t planning on using this journal but since it was prepped and ready to go with the background that was speaking to me at the moment…I went for it.

    prepped journal

    As I started painting in green…my muse said…nope. Turquoise is the color of the day. I covered up the green and was pleased with the subtle shading the layers had created.

    The page came together so quickly…I was amazed.

    The last little accent I added was a bit of tea dyed lace. I carefully cut around the medallion. It was perfect for the spot.

    I don’t often get really excited about my pages but this one has me smiling!

    Valentine Journal page

    I was inspired today..finally…to get my fingers full of paint.

    Valentine journalThis journal is a former children’s board book.  I covered each of the pages with book pages in a very random fashion.  It gives a very nice texture while covering the slick and colorful images on the original pages.

    <3 Happy Valentines Day!! <3

    I can’t seem to get myself down to my artspace long enough to unearth my table again. Today, since it was pretty warm, I tackled the driveway…I finally found the blacktop under all that compacted snow! I’m going to have some sore shoulders tomorrow!
