I have a couple of completed art journal pages to share with you today. Both are in my Blue Kitten Journal.
The first one started out as an experiment with modeling paste after watching Christy Tomlinson's 21 Secrets Workshop video "The Art of Texture" (which by the way is fantastic - Christy is an awesome teacher)...
A recent Rolling Stone magazine had favorite playlists of some musician's; and Norah Jones' happened to be all about Neil Young. I'm a huge Neil fan, so it inspired me to create this little tribute. This lyric is about not being ready to leave your childhood behind, and it goes perfectly with my ongoing midlife crisis - ha.
The background is modeling paste on watercolor paper. Then spray inks, acrylic paint and gesso. In the future, if I am going to use modeling paste this thick and heavy, I am going to be ready to stick stuff in it while it's wet. It's sorta hard to add anything to it after it's dry. A great learning experience for me.
The next one is a simple little collage that I started in a hotel room, and finished up last night...
Still loving to learn and experiment in these journals. Isn't it amazing that we never run out of things to learn? Creativity is truly limitless, and so freeing - don't you think?
Thanks so much for visiting me in my little corner of the world. I really appreciate you!
