Another Art Journal!

I finished another art journal, with the nice thick paper for painting, stamping, and collaging. Even though I love this one as much as my blue one, I've decided to sell it, probably on ebay.

I'm excited about a possible sale, but it's a little scary too!

Now I just have to figure out how to set up an account on line...Have a fun Saturday!

Altered Book

This past summer, I wanted to make something special for my daughters son, who was born in Sept. I took an old children's board book, and papered over each page. Then I started painting a story I had told Tori when she was a child. (My sister had told me a version of the same story when I was 6!) Here is what I gave my daughter:








There were many other adventures in purple land...maybe someday I'll have time for another book.
I hope you're having a good weekend!

LTS Book

Well, it took a while but I finally finished the book Julie calls the long tall skinny journal. It was a lot of gluing, but I think it turned out really well. I'm enjoying this class and the art journaling class that Julie is teaching. Here are a few of the pages from the journaling class.


I hope everyone is having a peaceful weekend!

Graduation!

I finished the final project for the Layer Love class I've been taking. This painting was called the Big Gel and for a good reason! I put 2 layers of gel over the whole canvas! I love the look and have other ideas of ways to experiment with the gel.

We are off to see my newest grandson for the day. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Back from the Beach and New Arrival!

I finished book 1 from Julie Prichard's online class and took it with me to the beach. I love it! You can paint lots of layers, journal and glue on the pages without any problems. Here are the first 2 pages I finished.

While we were at the beach, my daughter went into labor so we rushed to Pinehurst at 2:30 am! Our newest grandson, Levi, was born at 1:53pm on 9/17. He's 8.7 lbs and 21 inches long. We already adore him!

More Blue and Green

I skipped around in my class with Julie, and finished the 8th project yesterday. It was the longest one yet but worth it. I love the different colors of blue and green I used and the finished project looks nice in our bedroom.
My grandson, son and his wife were here Saturday for dinner. Isn't Grant a cutie?

We are so blessed and this month, my daughter's baby is due! Another blessing!!
I finished the first blue green project and decided to give it to Grant for his room.

It looks cute in the white frame I bought.
This post seems to jump around from subject to subject, but I guess that's how my life has been lately. Jumping! Has anyone else been busy too? Or are you taking it slow, and enjoying the last few days of summer?

Another Layer Painting

I'm on a roll! I finished another class with Julie Prichard, and I'm really having fun! Here is the latest painting inspired by colors in a napkin I found in one of my drawers.

The weekend is almost here and I'm planning to complete at least 1 more painting. Have a nice holiday weekend all!
