water color

I worked on this water color all week and it isn't that great. I did learn some things so hopefully my next attempt will be more successful. I have a dried up bouquet that I want to try next. I'm obsessed with dead zinnias! The colors are so shabby chic.

Did a little shopping at Tuesday morning and found these Tim Holtz rub ons. I thought they would work great on the cover of my dylusions journals, I was right. These rub ons are perfect!

I also did a little coloring. This page is so bad I can't even fix it. I do like the others. So fun to just play around in that when procrastinating working on the more challenging water color.

 

dreaming of summer

I spent some time yesterday reworking this journal page.  My view in the summer.  Can't WAIT!

journal pages

Practiced Paula's lettering technique on the Pansy page. Fun. Wish I knew how to do that A LONG TIME AGO. Top page is not done but really like it so far. Trying to journal myself a little peace of mind.

March garden

The Crocus are in full bloom and the Pasque flower is peeking out.

I'm all ears

Found inkwell on Ustream and DeDe inspired me to use my inktense pencils and do my elephant ears from last summer. Love her stuff and she really has me inspired to do MORE art!

Garden Art Journal

This is the first day of spring and the first page of my garden art journal. I took these photos yesterday. Today, we have at least 4 inches of snow with more on the way. It has been a long cold snowy winter. Only fitting that we have to endure yet another blanket. But at least we had a peek of spring yesterday and looking forward to filling this journal with notes, pictures and art work from my garden. The flowering Pasque was just beginning to peek out of the mulch, I took the photo then tucked her back in. Love this furry little flower. (Lower right hand corner.) I bought the rock at a yard sale downtown last year. Straight from Big Creek. The daffodils are miniature variety. I've tried to journal on the rock three times. Don't like the way the writing looks with the garden. Looks too much like graffiti.
