Over the weekend I was inspired to do a bit of art journaling.
Not sure that it will actually become a “project” but it was nice to play.

Ok…so the thumb still hurts but I can’t seem to
not use it.
No matter what it is in life…I use that thumb.
So I might as well make some cards…right?
I made a lot of cards…
they are like chips…bet you can’t eat just one…er…make just one.
I’ve had a couple people ask me lately about my photo cards for the holidays. Gifts and such I’d assume.
Which got me thinking…I should really sit down and make a bunch with all the photos I already have!
I also made a few more fabric collage cards.
I really enjoy making these.
They are what you might call a labor of love.
Finished another one and popped it in the mailbox yesterday.
One of the postmen said he gets a kick out of the mail art and postcards I send and receive.
He asked me about the postcards one day when I was mailing a very boring package.
I had no idea they paid that much attention!
Fun to know that mail art not only brightens the recipients day but the postal workers day as well.
Sometimes I grab a random page torn from a book to give me inspiration.
That is when my quirky sense of humor takes over….
Since we’ve been pretty much stuck in the house lately I’ve been exercising my creative side by attempting to finish some UFO’s…unfinished objects.
I have a stack of these type of projects. Some just have a background finished. Others are a train wreck and are in need of a do-over.
This small canvas board was one of those. Whoa! You can’t even imagine how ugly the background on this baby was. I didn’t take a before picture…it was too awful. Now I happen to like it.
This puzzle piece was another that had been abandoned sometime last fall when I ran out of steam after gluing papers to the backs of a dozen or so pieces. I used my scrap bucket for most of this one.
I’m also working on a mixed-media painting. So far I’m just layering and layering…no photos yet.
The second book in the round robin has arrived.
The theme: Magic.
The thought of magical portals came to mind immediately. A world brought to life through the power of imagination. Our imaginations are magical…they can take us places, experience things, create a world all our own…suspend reality…
I have a more traditional “Magic” thought for the second page in mind.
