screen of ICE

This is my view of the pool today.  A SHEET of ice.  Brrr.

Could be what inspired my snowflake page.  I used my leftover gelli prints to do this page and finished it with a little bit of gel pen.

I really miss my little dog.

gelli print snowman

I made my grandson a snowman greeting card with the gelli plate yesterday morning.  I will have to say it is the shortest printing session I have ever done.  In 45 minutes I had this print and many others so I threw it together for a card.  Used deli paper to pull second and third prints.  Hopefully I have enough to do a page in my journal.  

I don't know about anyone else but I lose time when printing and don't ever want to stop!  Yes.  It is a true addiction.

blackbird fly gelli print

I like this page much better than the last.  Gelli prints on deli paper make such a wonderful background for your art journal.  I used matt medium to glue the bird prints down.  Added some paint to the edges and the text and it is DONE.  Fun page and I love my bird stencil I made a few weeks ago.

Still don't like this page after whitewashing it.  I guess that is what is great about art journals.  You don't have to make good art as long as your making art!  I will say I like the lesson in the nine of swords.

Crystal tree 2013

I wired two square nails to make the cross.  Then threaded tiny crystals on to the wire and wrapped the cross.  Actually, I have spent three days trying to make a star but it did not work out.  Took about ten minutes to make the cross.  

I've been working on this tree for a couple of weeks now.  I've made a few more ornaments and have pulled all my crystals out of my drawers to fill it in.  I love it.  Had a difficult time getting a good photo of it, so I added more velvet with Photoshop.  Hope it looks okay online.

ugly page

I really don't like this page at all.  

R.I.P. Buster

I lost my little familiar today.  He lived a long, (fifteen and a half years) adventurous life.  Don't know what I will do without him.

Christmas Ornament

I made this cool ornament off stuff from my desk.  Never throw out a tiny picture misprint because it just might come in handy some day!
