Art Journal class

These are some backgrounds that I made as part of an online class I am in. This technique is called scraped paint backgrounds.

crazy about art journal pages

Here are a few more that I have made for different friends' books. I just love making these AJ pages.

a few more art journal pages for my book

I had a couple blank pages in my round 1 and 2 signatures. I completed all four single pages that now complete my first two signatures. I just love playing around with different types of backgrounds. What I emblish the page with isn't near as important or fun as making the backgrounds. I usually make up a 1/2 dozens or so backgrounds at the time and then wait on something to come along that strikes me to finish off the page with.

PAO ReCreate - Durham NC Oct 8-10,2010

We had so much fun. This is a great bunch of ladies!! I can't wait till March 2011.

Lastest Art Journal Page

I just finished this AJ page for a friend. It was a real struggle at first. I hated the background. But with some advice from my other friend, Christy I added gesso on top of the misted background. It became this awesome mixture of colors b/c the gesso sorta smeared the misted blue ink. I love it!! I then changed everything that I had planned and instead put this woman from a magazine ad on the page. After I took this picture, I added the word dream along her left arm. Perfect! I hope my friend likes it b/c I love it!!!!
