White challenge

Dear friend,
This is an artist journal response to an all white challenge given at the Milliande ning group. This was fun to do as I wasn't sure how all white would turn out. I also decided to do an all white little flat doll to add to the page. I beaded it and added white buttons.

More maps

Dear friend,
I've done some more artist journal pages using maps as a prompt. This time I did the theme of me getting healthy in Autumn. I journaled on the pages as well.

Maps challenge

Dear friend,
These artist journal pages are part of a challenge to explore using maps in your artist journal. I used a map of Victoria where i live and a map of Japan where I would like to go. I gessoed the parts of the map I didn't want to see and then did some potato stamp spirals. I then added some oak leaves because they give me wisdom and strength and then I journaled on the page. I am going to do some more pages today.

Red collage

Dear friend, This red collage was for a challenge to do a red collage for an internet group I belong to...coachcreativespace.ning.com
I'm a bit late with it but better late than never. At the moment there is a challenge for Easter. That will take awhile too as I need to collect some easter egg wrappers.

Spirals

Dear friend,
I am using a friends fabulous blog for inspiration for my own artwork. The other day she did a whole lot on spirals so I used it for two pages in my artist journal. The dark orange swirls are using a potato as a stamp. REminded me of being a kid. I am so childlike in my artist journals. I love the simplicity.
