Atlas Turned Art Journal - Yippee...!!!

Hi there friends!  I'm so excited cuz I scored this awesome vintage Atlas on ebay for only $14.99!  It's in great shape and it's HUGE!  A whopping 11" x 16" (or 22 x 16" when open!)  Isn't she a beauty???

I turned her into my June art journal, and I'm having so much fun with it!   Here are my first two completed spreads...

 On this one, the purple rainbows and the word "June" are actually gelli-printed deli paper that I cut out and pasted on with a glue stick.  The red and pink titles are done with a molotow marker (my new favorite kind of marker!)

The color on this photo is off, but it gives you an idea of how huge this book is.  I have the book on my lap. Check out how little my feet look - ha!
 

Here's the first step in my page for today. It's a page with lots of info about the moon and earth.  If you look closely you can still see the images under the paint.  I left one earth unpainted...

 and here's the finished page...
The duck is actually a photo of our neighborhood duck.  The girl is a magazine image. The white writing is done with a Molotow marker.

I hope your week is starting out awesome!  Thanks so much for visiting!  I really appreciate you!
