While my pretty lettering isn't all that pretty yet, I am having a great deal of fun playing and trying to make it better. Here is my first two page spread in this 9 x 12 graph paper journal.
The pictures aren't so nice - I just printed them out on regular copy paper, but they really set the tone for this spread. Some of the stamps are my own - the wine glass, the flowers, the stars, and the tall skinny house. I am hoping to carve my own alphabet stamps too using the Neuland style that Martha does.
This is just the beginning of my next two page spread. I don't know where this one is going yet, but I am having fun playing with it.
Tomorrow I am expecting my daughters two girls for the day and am planning to do some fashion magazine cutting and pasting in their journals. I haven't done art with the girls in an awfully long time and am sure we will all enjoy it immensely. Perhaps I will have some pix to share.
xoxo
Hope you have a great day magazine cutting and pasting, sounds fun :)

ReplyDeleteGlad you're posting again...sent you off list email, you must not have seen it or it went to junk mail. I was only asking how you were doing and to tell you you were missed on EDM.
ReplyDeleteIs your hand/wrist back to 100% function or are you still having trouble with it.
Sorry I didn't get your off list email, Joan. I am doing much better (maybe 85% or so), but still have some nerve pain issues. I am hoping to get back into art a bit at a time and will try to post each week. Thanks so much for checking up on me.
