    T Tuesday: art journal edition

    I’m linking up once again with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday.

    Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We did and everyone stayed healthy…hooray! I was worried with all the influenza and viruses around leading up to the holiday break. 20141229_7383

    I feel like I’m finally back in a creative place mentally so it was so cool that this was the tag on my Yogi tea bag today. “A relaxed mind is a creative mind.”

    I find that I’m drawn to my art zone…now if I could get myself to organize it, I’d be set!

    I’m continuing to plug away at the last few pages in my journal.20141229_7381

    Playing with texture and bold color on these pages.

    These pages had a more subdued feel…pastel like. Makes me think of Easter.

    The words hadn’t dried completely before I closed the book. Make a  joyful noise!!! got smudged.  Darn pigment ink.

    Well, we’ve got a birthday to celebrate today… Mini-me turns 12!! She’s getting so grown up! She is having a friend sleepover so I’m sure there will be a couple tired girls tomorrow…yikes.

    What are you doing today??

    Back to art journaling

    It has been a while since I’ve worked in my art journals. I was worried that my muse may have disappeared….but I found her. 20141221_7356

    I once again grabbed some scraps from around me to create this page. Some suede from a coat I cut up to make a book and some RenFest bags, tea stained lace curtain scrap20141221_7358 and some book page flowers I was experimenting with the other day.20141221_7357

    I’m nearly done with this journal as well. I think maybe I can squeeze 3 perhaps 4 more pages out of it. I already have my next journal picked out….and an idea for another. I love the freedom art journaling affords. No theme. No boundaries. Just a place to express and experiment.
