Journal Junk and Post-it Papers

Ξ July 1st, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Art-tastic |

The weather has been horribly hot the past few days and we have spent our time hovering over the open freezer and in cold bathtubs and showers. It was 97 over the weekend and despite an hour in a cold tub I couldn’t shake the icky sicky feeling of heat exhaustion. This morning is nice and cool the doors are open and the air feels crisp. Understandably in such heat it was difficult at best to get much art done. I did my best to get a few projects completed and a couple messy journal pages done. Today I am working on the finishing touches of those projects that have piled up and will have 2 done by tomorrow. We are getting a new roof put on the duplex tomorrow so I likely won’t be home. I’ve been advised to leave for the day due to the dozen men tromping on the roof and the echo of a dozen nail guns going off in unison. I’ll find a nice air conditioned art store or book store to hang in for a bit. =) Here are the journal pages I managed to smudge out in the heat this weekend.

Jump for joy. Painted in watercolor directly onto the novel page that has been gesso’d and washed in watercolor.

Time On My Hands. This was a late creation for the Make it Mondays’ challenge on the go make something website.I manage a few more post-it covers as well. I am now out of post-its and need to buy the envies for mailing and start my Etsy project. I have a lot of ideas on how to expand this idea to include my own art – but I’ll see how it goes with this project first. These are the post-it’s I did before the heat was just too overwhelming to work in.

That’s it for today. I’m off to finish some goodies now. Enjoy the rest of your day and God Bless!
