Art Journal Cover

I’ve finally found the time to do some posting. Thanks to my friend Karyn for buying this little goodie for me! (Thanks Karyn) Have been with you all since the start, and have been thoroughly reading each and every post with interest. I can’t believe all the great work I’ve seen. Its Fab! Anyway, here is the start of my journal. This photo should show my cover.

Now if that worked, you’ll see my cover. Since we’re in ‘conservation mode’ in this household at the moment, I’ve reused a journal I made in a HOTP class a couple of years ago. I really liked the papers on it, but the rest was…. errrrr BAD! So I’ve gone all heritagey with it, as is my usual. I have to admit, I’ve really struggled though. I’ve not felt very creative lately, and although I wanted to be very artsy and ‘go with the flow’ on this, its turned out very regimented. But I guess thats just me, and how I am, so hence…. my style. I hope you don’t mind that I don’t share my opening page and my first weeks work with you guys. Its very personal and quite a lot of ranting going on with it. (I think thats why Karyn bought this for me!) But hopefully I’ll find it all very theraputic and maybe just GET ON WITH IT!
Thanks for looking! (As long as its shown up that is)
