ART JOURNAL - POST 2

HOW FUN HAS THIS BEEN???????????  I can't even begin to explain it .. I have been missing my create groove for so long now .. and I dare say .. IT'S BACK BABY!  WOOT WOOT!

Before I post the pics, I just wanted to say thanks to my new blog readers that were referred here thru Art Journal everyday ... I am so excited to not just share my work but to see others work and be completely inspired!  I hope you like my next couple of pages! :)

So excuse the pics ... new camera that I haven't figured out settings on and crappy lighting ..!  LOL

So remember that insane rub-on page that I posted in my first Art journal post .. here is a pic if you don't know what I am talking about!

Well I turned into an art page about reading .... I am a HUGE READER .. I often have 4-5 books on a go at the same time, all scattered around my house .. so I am never without .. yah it's crazy .. you can think it!  LOL  To me, getting lost in a fabulously written story is right up there with dark chocolate, red wine, hot bath and great sex!  YES SERIOUSLY ... it's that much of a passion of mine!  So I gesso'd  just the center ... used all kinds of thickers and stickers, and here is what I was left with!

My next page is very warm and vintagey .... I love to collage .. and will try to collage anything and everything.  Thru swaps, purchases and great gifts I have a massive collection of vintage like ephemera.  So I started this page with just a warm quick coat of paint, slapped on some papers, more paint, more papers, some ephemera .. and after some time this is what I was left with!  There is no real significance to this page as far as a subject, I literally let each element happen where it may!  I had no design concept, just a paint brush and a desire! WINK!  LOL

I did start a third ... I was oogling over some watercolour crayons I had, and felt the urge to just doodle!  So I DID!  LOL  This was made with a black sharpie, and the crayons .. I mixed some colours together, left some alone .. and then went over and blended them with a brush!  I have no idea what i am gonna do with it .. but it's there when/if the urge comes over me to add to it!

 So that is where I am on my journal ... not bad for ten minutes a day huh?  BAHAHA, just kidding .. I did put in a lot more than 10 minutes a day .. but I know myself too and know that there will be days where I won't feel like doing anything creative .. likely cuz I am reading my book, in the hot bath, eating dark chocolate and drinking red wine  and wondering when my hubby is gonna get our girls to bed, so that he can get to ours ... WINK!

Thanks for popping in .. MMWWWWAAAAA!
