Journal page

Image
I am using a journal I made from leftovers and scraps.  The background can be a bit busy because of that.  This page I wanted to obliterate some of the background so I painted over it with pink.  The prompt was to use a crown.  I decided to do a page about my blog name.  It just seemed appropriate.  Not exactly great art but I am having a lot of fun with it.

My bead journal for May is complete.  I am quite pleased with it.  Using some paper in it feels good to me.  I made a color copy of it and used that in my paper journal.  I love two for one!  The journal prompt was to use my name. I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

I know this isn't tack sharp but I think it makes a really interesting abstract! I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/ and http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/

A couple of journal pages

I joined a journal prompt group.  Not sure why.  I usually don't like them but this one seemed doable.  Turns out that I really like the prompts and they are kind of fun.  Top photo I used a calendar page printed on a transparency.  The prompt was to use a calendar page so I did just that and added a piece of a photo and some colored tape.  All of the backgrounds in this journal are scraps, over sprayed papers etc. The second photo is for the prompt to use feet in some way on a journal page.  I wasn't terribly excited about this one at first.  But then I thought of shoes and that got me excited!  Love shoes!  Have a massive collection of shoes!  Used to manage a shoe store.  Now I want to do a bunch of journal pages about shoes!

Work in Progress Wednesday

This something a bit different for me.  I started by adhering doilies to a canvas and then painting the whole thing.  I machine quilted it and then got stuck.  It sat for quite a while before I knew where to go with it.  I have added the circles and some hand embroidery.  I want to add more embroidery and then it should be finished.

I heart Macro

Oh how I do love macro!  I saved for quite a while to get my macro lens but boy was it worth it!  I use that lens more than any other.  I was pleased to capture this dandelion with one last seed on it.  I know many think of dandelions as weeds but I like their bright yellow.  And who doesn't like blowing all the seeds off while making a wish!  And remembering the beautiful bouquets my sons would bring home for me!

Bead journal progress

Image
I have added some beads!  I am loving the way this piece is going!  I am a bit stuck at the moment.  Not quite sure what my next step is.  I know I want to add more beads for sure.  It has been a really busy week so I just haven't had the time or energy to figure it out.
