Hello my friends. I've been working bit by bit on art journal pages. Last night I finished two. I've found that making backgrounds works best by doing more than one page at a time, so I might coat several pages with gesso and then set them aside to dry. Then I might add paint or ink with stencils, etc. But since there is a lot of waiting for things to dry, doing several at the same time just makes sense.
One that I made really didn't fall into the category of the above. I started it on Thursday for a quick-fire challenge on the OWSE yahoo group. There were certain specifications on starting the background. I also added pieces of old book pages, some stamping & hand wrote the words.
I'm starting to get a little more comfortable with making these pages.
Thanks for stopping by.

I just love this one Melody. The colors are gorgeous, the birs is beautiful, the book pages and flourishes were the perfect touch. You just seem to be such a natural at these pages. I just have to push myself on mine.
