Journal Mania

Ξ September 5th, 2008 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Art-tastic, The Healing Garden |

I finished the angel journal and started one called “Palm of His Hand.” I have to wait for some products to arrive before I can finish the Palm journal but I have 2 more planned so I can move onto those while I wait. You’ll notice on the Angel journal that I have a series of 3 dots and 3 rhinestones. Those symbolize the Holy Trinity. There is a lot of glitter glaze on this journal that the camera can’t pick up. I think this turned out special. The Palm journal is far simpler and maybe a bit more on the masculine side. I have a postage stamp journal and a butterfly journal planned to work on next. I’ve also been playing with ATCs and have one ready to start painting with a Halloween theme. It’s TGIF today and the weather is sunny and not overly warm out. The perfect weather for outdoor BBQ, a walk in the park, a few drinks on a restaurant terrace or a drive with the windows down. It’s been a quiet week here this week and I’ve really enjoyed it. Next TGIF I have a shopping date with my sister. The item at the top of my list is a new bra – OMG this is going to be hilarious. I hate, hate, hate, bra shopping, it is however comic relief. Hmm, wonder how I can convey this via art. I’ll have to give it some thought! Here’s a peek at my journals I’ve been working on. Enjoy ~ and Happy TIGF! God Bless!


And … the work in progress ~

 

A few ATCs

I made this ATC for my sister and she got it via mail today so now I can post it. =) It’s called Best Feathered Friends!

This was fun, it’s a montage of rubberstamping, illustration done in watercolor, glitter glaze, music confetti, and embossing powder. Other embellishements include gold embroidery thread, heart brad and blue eyelet.
The ATC below was made for Illustration Friday. The prompt word for the week is “memories.” My angel journal is coming along nicely and I have another one nearing done as well. I’ll post pics of them tomorrow.
