This journal spread was several days in the making.

I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.

I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.

Oh well.  Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.

I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.

It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.

 

 

 

My art ADD has come back in full force.  I have many different projects all in progress at the same time and in the same small space.

I’m reworking a canvas as another edition of my friend Sandy’s poem.

I finished a couple of crochet dishcloths this week. Neither one is perfect by an stretch of the imagination but I’m fine with that.

Journal page in progress. I’m trying to remember to leave this free of bulking embellishments as this spiral journal is filling fast and the pages will soon not turn on the tiny spiral if I keep up with the bulk.

In the past week I sold 3 pieces of terrain. I’m thrilled! It has inspired me to make more. I’ve been priming and trying out different combinations for my recycled pieces.

As well as playing around with foam and a plastic bottle. I love the challenge of making something out of nothing.  I’m hoping that this will look like a crashed vessel that has weathered over time.

See what I mean…all over the place! My mind is going this way and that. So many ideas, so little time and space.

journalI was about to chuck this book in the trash. Every time I made a journal page in this book, it was simply awful. It seemed as if the book was stealing my mojo.

This was a last ditch effort for the book. If I wasn’t happy today…it was going away in a really permanent fashion.

I think I’ll keep it around, at least for the time being.

I finished the very last page in one of my journals, which ironically happened to be the inside cover.

The bold orange made me happy. When I spotted the quote in my stash I knew it was meant to be.

Other bits and pieces also found their way into my hands from a drawer of randomness. I keep thinking I need to sort that stuff but sometimes chaos is best for my creative process.

This heart makes me so, so happy.

The texture…  The inking on the edge… The the fact that its asymmetrical…

Yeah! Love it when things work out.

If you’d have seen the mess I made yesterday in another book, you’d truly understand why this one has restored my confidence. YIKES!

Something light, bright and Spring-like  was what was called for last night.

Must have been the sunshine that had me feeling the love.

The direction and colors I started with for this page got totally covered up.  So strange how things work out.

The background is a page I put together to make a custom Photoshop brush several years ago. It never made the cut so I stuck in a drawer and it promptly disappeared. It surfaced yesterday and was the perfect second beginning of my journal page.

Just a page in another art journal. 
I didn’t have any idea where I was going with it until it all came together. 
I’m finding that I’m working more and more that way lately. 
As an aside…I’m looking at moving my blog to WordPress to actually USE the domain Mr. G bought for me a while back. 
I’m having anxiety about making the move since I’ve been with Blogger for so long.
When I make the move I hope you will come visit me there….
I’ll definitely keep you posted…
