Slide mount art

Image
I'm studying the book Artist Journals & Sketchbooks with the Artist of the Round Table Yahoo group.  I'm really enjoying it.  These slide mounts are my latest creations.  It's a lot of fun going through my stash and finding small bits and pieces that will fit.  I don't know if I will use these in my journals or not.  I don't tend to add this sort of thing to my journal but maybe that will change.

My sister is coming

Here is a tag I created with a picture of my sister and I when we were little girls.  Such happy faces. I love my sister and I can't wait for her to come visit.  It's been five years since I've seen her.  Wow, where does the time go.  I am planning to have an art play day for her.  Should be fun!

time book with a steampunk slant

I bought some cool watch parts on ebay a while back.  I finally found the right place to use them.  I just love the tiny gears under the watch crystal.  I don't know if this is really all that steampunk but  whatever.

I love the quote on this page.  You have to allow a certain amount of time in which you are doing nothing in order to have things occur to you, to let your mind think. I so agree with this!

I'm really liking this book.  I used a piece of mica on this page and I think the color really suits.

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

bead journal project

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. On the bright side, yesterday I was in Toronto and went to the John Bead Corp. outlet store.  Way cool!  Vials of beads for twenty five cents!  I stocked up.  I also bought a very pretty tiara.  Fun!  The magpie in me was over the moon happy.
