january pages



finally!!
caught up with my
art journal pages
it is nice to be
on top of things again...
until the next deadline of course...



 the woman who cried flowers

have you ever noticed that sorrows
can turn into joys when given enough
time to heal
and mend?


I was thinking this month about a relationship
that has completely transformed in the last two months...
and how delighted I am to 
be a part of that change...





I used antique book pages
and cut out petal pieces and realized that they were
tears...
as well...
funny how that works...







or raindrops...





I have been drawing more lately...
and painting on book pages





ingredients: Acrylic paint, pen, colored pencil, PVA, thread, paper ephemera 
tissue paper, workable fixative, fine pumice gel.


I found that if I used my brush dipped in PVA and water, it worked the colored pencil like watercolor






I am taking another blog break,
because we are headed to Florida...
so I will bring you along with...
some of you may need sunshine too...

I want to thank you all for your kind remarks
about balance...
certainly something that many of us
consider a work in progress...



grazie,
grazie!

be back in a couple of weeks...
