First Journal Pages and Hint of New Project

One of my classes at Art and Soul was called "Road Map to the Creative Life" taught by Judy Wise. Judy creates the most awesome journal pages which you can see on her blog. I have been a follower of her blog for a long time and so wanted to sit in her classes and learn from her. Here are a few FIRST pages of my beginning steps in Art Journal Making.

Oops this is out of sequence here but in the right place in the journal! LOL

I met so many talented artists in both classes I attended...Here is the work of one on top

(a cat for animal Wednesday) and Dawn from WA who sat at the table behind me.

And of course Judy...who turned out to be as wonderful as I thought she'd be and then some.

I met Jenny in the Sunday Encaustics class and have since been befriended by her

on Facebook and am now following her blog too.

Creativity is Happiness

(Blogger would not allow me to link to it but go there on your own!) And that is her at the top of this page and her wonderful

art at the bottom.

painted pages, which marker works best? Asking each other...

Using stencils...

wonderful quotes given us by Judy... Linda was my table mate and we had lots of laughs together!

Her art was very special too.

This is a peek at the very very beginnings of a new project I am working on.

Something for a show called "Quilts of A Different Matter" A show I had to be invited to join, so I emailed the director and got myself invited!

Stay tuned to see more of it's progress as I progress!

I don't have a photo of what I

HEARD

tonight out in our dark backyard.

I do not even know how to begin to draw or write the sounds

of a CAT FIGHT!

It was two highly pitched screeching voices

that woke every dog in the neighborhood to loud barking

brought neighbors back door lights on

and had me frantically calling HENRY.

He came in later

all puffed up

but otherwise

not looking

any

the

worse

for

wear!

Happy Animal Wednesday!!!
