Here is another page from my time book.  I really like this book.  It's been fun to make it.

I'm not overly thrilled with the way this bead journal page turned out but it's not terrible.  Hopefully, I will learn and improve.

The top picture is from Lois's journal.  I shared the crayon resist technique.  We did crayon rubbings and then painted over them.  Lois did her rubbing over a journal page that already had some lettering on it.  Cool. The next picture down  is a page from Nancy's journal.  Mary Lynn shared the glaze pen resist technique.  You draw with glaze pens and when they are dry you do a watercolor wash over them.  Fun. The next picture  is a page from Mary Lynn's journal.  Nancy shared the watercolor crayon and gesso technique.  You lay down some color with watercolor crayons and spread the color with water.  You then apply gesso over top of the color.  The g...

Here's another page from the time book.  It was kind of fun to work with the beiges and browns.  I don't normally use those colors.
