Stencilled tag

Most of the layers on this tag are spray paint, but the chevrons and the tiny dots are acrylic, as are the three white blobs.

My gigantic journal

Here is the second page of my A3 art journal. (The observant of you will notice the binding rings are on the wrong side. That's because I accidentally created it upside down!)

Sometimes

Here are the next pages from 'My true and the questions' journal'.

Possibilities

A new year, new days always present new possibilities. This is what I am hoping this digital piece conveys.

... and two more

Two quite contrasting pages.

My body

The next two pages from my 'The true and the questions' journal.

... and the next batch

None of these pages look much like their originals.

New journal

A little while ago I spotted a book by Sabrina Ward Harrison called 'The True and the Questions Journal'.

It's a book that encourages the reader to use it to make an illustrated journal of their own. This intrigued me and I bought it, once home though it took a long time to start as I had to get over the feeling of spoiling the printed pages.

I haven't necessarily started at the beginning, but here are some of the pages I have altered.

Inspire

This is a canvas I made, with some inspiration from Finnabair (http://tworzysko.blogspot.com/) and Hels Sheridan in the January edition of Craft Stamper.

Completed journal

I forgot to mention yesterday that the page I posted was the last page in my square journal. Here's a snap of some pages from the finished journal.

The hope of spring

The background on this journal page is rather dark, probably inspired by all the dark grey days we have been having. Hopefully, though, the flowers remind us of the promise of Spring.

Being Human

I hope you like this tongue-in-cheek digital piece.

A new year journal page

Whilst away in the summer I found a shop that sold A3 notebooks with good quality paper. It seemed a good idea at the time, but once home the size seemed rather daunting. A new year, however, seemed the right time to get it out again and start filling it up. So here is the first page completed. My husband's comment when he saw it was "it's enormous!". Hopefully, I've used the space well.

Happy New Year!

Let's hope it's a good one!
