and the next journal page

Image
I used fusible web and embossing powder to decorate the butterfly.  Definitely a nice look.  This page is a little more simple than the last even though there are a lot of layers of paint.

I may have posted this page before this but I believe I have added to it since.  It's okay but not great.  Oh well they can't all be masterpieces nor do they need to be.

the next art journal page

Image
This page is loaded with paint and layers of paper.   I think this page is pretty good.  It's got  a lot of layers but I think the blend together pretty well.

another journal page

I don't seem to be able to do busy pages very well.  I really like busy pages done by other people but not my own so much.  I guess I am just a simple girl at heart.

more of my journal

I love the colors in this journal.  I am pleased with the way it has turned out.  Not every page is a totally terrific but I will post them any.  I used a watch crystal to trap a leaf sequin on a tag.  I used a disposable paint palette to make a pocket to hold the tag.  I stitched silk and beads along the edge of the page.

macro photography

I I have a fantastic macro lens.  I really enjoy shooting macro photography so it was worth the big bucks I paid for it.  Check out this close up of a peacock feather.  I am thinking I should print it on fabric and then do some beading on it.

photography workshop with Andre Gallant

Image
I spent a wonderful weekend learning and being inspired by Andre Gallant.   The top image is a panning shot it is too dark on the top but I am still learning.  The bottom image is a dreamscape.  A dreamscape is two images of the same subject combined.  The first image is in focus and over exposed one stop.  The second image is exposed properly but slight out of focus to give the halo effect.  I can combine two images in my camera but this can be done in Photoshop Elements as well.  I am really excited to learn these cool artsy techniques.  I hoping to incorporate these images into my stitching.  So much fun!
