October Art Journal Pages

October is the month..

of magic..

Change is all around us...

sometimes radical..

sometimes subtle..

but there is no escaping the fact that change is in the 

air..

and my pages, dear reader are about changes..

and accepting that nothing stays the same...

I think that the more we are open to change, 

the happier we are..

The crow represents magic to me..

and the ability to call forth transformation that is beneficial..

and join in the songs of nature...

Ingredients: Gesso, tissue papers, monoprints, antique papers, acrylic paint, transparency, pencil.

This week ...

I am cleaning up the studio

and painting pages in my travel journal..

and I will have one more quick post for you before we leave..

You can always catch up with me on 

Instagram

Facebook

Ciao, Ciao!

August Art Journal Pages and a Fall Break

Summer is definitely at an end...

and 

August was a wild month..

another month of 

transitions and transformations..

we even had a

hurricane to contend with..

but fortunately it passed over us with 

just rain..

and maybe a bit of anxiety...

we had a lot of rain this year..

so

butterfly and dragonfly

were my faithful companions..

so I had to share 

them with you

and in my pages..

I learned a lot about both of them

this summer..

as I accept the changes that I make 

about myself and what I want to 

create

both personally and professionally..

The substrate for the butterfly is white tissue paper

and I treated the back with gel medium,

then I drew the butterfly on the paper with Inktense water color pencils

it worked quite well

and I only wish you could see and feel it in person..

Ingredients: Acrylic paint, Inktense Pencils, pencil, pen and ink on gelli prints, wrapping papers, rub on transfers, transfers on paper, walnut ink. Butterfly in Inktense Watercolor pencils on tissue paper. 

and we are off to visit family

so I will take a little blog

break...

as always, 

I am grateful for your

readership..

and finding your sweet comments

is my one weakness..

March Journal Pages

I did a lot of writing this month..

though you would never know...

since I covered it all...

with paint

and paper...

and more paint

and chalk pens...

and thickly layered the pages..

writing about relationships...

labels 

and their meaning in my life

concerning la famiglia..

March Journal pages, Caterina Giglio

some relationships are like eggs shells...

brittle, fragile...

or thin as torn paper...

and some seem to be ...

unbreakable...

we all need those...

ingredients: gesso, acrylic paint, paper ephemera, transparency, chalk pens, pencil, pen, walnut ink

I have one more blog post to share with you

and then I will be taking a break...

we are headed to Europe....

and so I am going to be busy making my travel journal..

stitching signatures and deciding on size and materials..

I promise to shoot it in process for you..

and to take lots of photos

on our trip....
