I was inspired by the snow yesterday to create this page.
Today, the sun is shining. It’s deceptively cold out there but that certainly doesn’t stop the critters from going about there business.

I bought myself a Tattered Angels paint system on clearance a few weeks ago. I had no idea what to expect. Honestly, I think I was trying to get my craft order to qualify for free shipping…not from Amazon.I painted a base layer with gesso then standard craft paints…wiping a bit back with baby wipes. Then it was time to try out each paint in the set.
I really like the way the green turned out, I was skeptical when I was painting with it. The color is called Dirty Martini….it may be that in itself that makes me love it more. 🙂
Anyway…lots of experimentation going on here.

I’ve been having trouble feeling the love for my door journal. I think it has to do with the binding…specifically the tightness of it. A few of the pages don’t turn very well…in fact, I may remove them.While returning some library books last week, I spotted this one on the free shelf. It’s a nice system…they have a little cash box there for a goodwill donation. You can even place books you want to be rid of there. The money goes back into the library system. I hope when the new library opens they continue that shelf. But I digress.
I picked this book since it is quite a bit bigger than my current art journal book as you can see. The spine is very flexible and I believe it will stand up well to oodles of paint.
I like to leave the plastic covers on these books until I’m done. It just protects them a little better. Then I’ll do something with the covers. So many options including covering with fabric, paint or papers. We’ll see what strikes me when we get there.
