    aqua and yellow closeupI’m not sure if I’m going to label each weeks journal page with a SOC4 but today it just seemed right.

    Go check out what my fellow SOC4 artists come up with this week. I know I’ll be checking them out daily.

    Wish upon a star

    wishLayers and layers under the aqua. I finally settled on that color after auditioning several others. The others were definitely not right.

    I’ve used this technique of making circles on my pages before. Highlighting little pieces of the page make it much more interesting. Having the layers underneath give wonderful texture to the page.

    Art Journal Exposure

    I took some quiet time yesterday to work in my kira-kira journal. It’s nearly full. Then I’ll just need to figure out what to do with the cover.exposureThe page came together with elements from my desk. I only had to go hunt for the vintage slide. As the page was coming together I just had to include a slide. I was lucky enough to find one in my stash that matched so very well.up close exposureI’m not sure how much I’ll be able to create in the next week. My clothes dryer broke so Mr. G will be taking it apart today. Since I share my art space with the laundry…my space will be severely limited. Not that I don’t have tons of other things that I could be doing.
