Recent Journal Efforts

I try to do at least one journal page a day.  Sometimes I do more.  I do have a tendency to make things in multiples for some reason... the idea is that since I am in the mess, I might just as well do as many as I can.  I do that with baking too, lol.  Sewing, not so much, unless it is little 3-D creations like dolls, then I usually cut out at least three.  You know how the first thing always teaches you how to do something or gives your muse an new idea... so it is nice to have another ready to go NOW, as they say on the crime shows, lol.
Today, for instance, I am going to play with using words in journals... I will paste book pages and other things on pages... no telling how many I will do as this is an easy task.  Then, I will have no telling how many pages ready to use on a whim!  I like that!  So, here are the pages I have completed this last week:

Exploring My Dark Side(s)  Even dark sides can be artsy, lol.


A Glazing Practice-effects of glazes...


Journal Spilling Practice~doesn't journal spilling seem to be hot right now?


Explore Your Fears Journal Spilling style~fears come and go~

Journal Spilling on a previously prepared page~The saying in the circle and the lady at the bottom were radomly pasted onto this page many moons ago... and I just this week decided to do something with it.  Lists are good!


A Y page~doing the alphabet backwards...


And the Z page that started the backwards alphabet...

I just found you through the artist blog hop and I'm so glad I did.

If you have time and interest, I'd be honored to have you check out a little project I'm trying to get off the ground! I'd be happy to extend the mailing date if necessary.
