Paper PJ peace

I have to admit that it was so much more fun making paper pj's than the real ones. I don't sew well and it is really stressful.

I don't really like this spread in my journal but there it just doesn't matter and it is all fun no pressure! 

Basically I just gathered all my doodles I had laying around on my desk and tried to make them into a cohesive layout. Didn't really achieve that, but had fun and released a whole lot of stress while working on it.

Sending loving vibrations into this turbulent world and hope y'all can pick up on them. Peace out.

Alcohol Inks!

This awesomeness is my Christmas present from myself this year!! I had some alcohol ink, but now I have ALL the alcohol ink! Ha. Not, because CHA starts this week and they will have a bunch of new colors that are to die for.

I can't wait to play with this palette of inks! Tim Holtz is the man. I saw one video of him demonstrating them and I had to have the whole set up.

Journal play

I really enjoy painting from photos that I take of flowers. I took this photo on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, MO. It was a small water feature with a pansy floating in it.

Brand new using watercolors so forgive me, (if you even can even call it watercolor after using gesso). Hoping to get much better at letting the paint and water move on it's own.

I absolutely LOVE the Ken Oliver Color burst! So interesting to sprinkle and then I used the  pill palette with a tiny wet brush for a completely different look. Fun! In my opinion I have overworked this page. Maybe I should watch some more you tube videos.

Ken Oliver pill palette

Does this look like an OCD person spent the entire day making this pill palette for my color burst? Well, that is exactly what happened and it makes me so HAPPY just to look at it! 

I made one a few weeks ago and decided to put liquid inks on one end. Proceeded to tip the sob first night and ruined it!

So, ordered some more Ken Oliver and washed the mess and started over. This one turned out really well because I had practiced.
