Another journal page

Saturday 9th Jan, 2016

Hi there to all,
                     Boy holidays are rapidly disappearing, only a few days left. I have been busy working in my art journal and spring cleaning the house.
                      Both give me a sense of achievement but one is far more enjoyable than the other. I wonder if you can guess which one!

                      Here is my latest journal page. It has been a while since I did some drawing but she came together in the end. I used my new Viva transparent paper pen to draw the figures hair then painted and coloured my drawing in. Then I did the background. 

I don't often do my pages this way around but I had been sketching in bed and had her drawn so thought I would try and turn her into a page. I was a little disappointed with my colour combination on the background but I used Brusho crystals and they are very hard to control. You never know quite what your going to get. 

Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy creating. Cheers Angela 

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to all. 

I do hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed their New Years celebrations. I don't know about you but I have long given up on News Years resolutions but I do find the start of the year is a good time to begin new projects.

I was lucky enough to get some dylusions paints from my DH and so have been having a lovely time experimenting with them. Both using them on their own and with other products. I love the colours and the beautiful way they spread on my journals.

I have decided to try and do more art journalling this year. I so love to 'play' and not feel the need to actually produce anything in particular. Sometimes although I love creating pages, cards and albums sometimes I put myself under pressure to have things finished by a certain time. The freedom of doing a background or three before adding other elements is so refreshing.

It is also nice when something is finally finished, you are never quite sure when you will get that "ahhh there, that's good' feeling but it's cool when it happens.

Happy creating.

stay safe,

Angie
