More Journal Time

I have actually been working a lot in my journal this last couple of weeks. I have created a couple of "Flopportunities", a new arty word I learned last night on Paula's UStream. But I kept changing them until I was satisfied. And I went out searching for Golden's Colbalt Teal paint this weekend. This must be the most popular paint color in the world, because I could not find it anywhere. I wanted it in liquid but alas I finally settled for Liquitex Heavy Body in a tube because the lady that sold it to me gave it to me for 50% off. I actually bought a craft paint turquoise that I thought I could live with BUT it goes down very grainy so that was out.



This is a journal page I worked on this weekend. That creepy face above it (that I didn't know I got a shot of) is for a another page I am thinking about. I have a ton of books and magazines that I buy only to cut images out of and that is where he came from. You will see him again soon.



This page is what I created along with Paula last night on her UStream, Journal Artista is Paula's name on everything she does. Look her up, you won't be disappointed. I used the insides of some security envelopes for the strips on this. I was glad I thought of those. I think it came out OK. Don't know if I am completely finished with it or not yet.



And one more page. This time I used alcohol inks on it and then I didn't spritz enough water on the ink to make them run real good, so this is what I got. I do believe I see about 5 faces in these, including a couple of bunny's. So I will have to get them to peek out soon. Faces are fun to create. There is a technique that I don't know the name for where you just look away from the paper and scribble, and then try to create something out of that scribble. That is always fun to do when you just don't know what you really want to do arty. I always try for faces.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

More, More!!!

OK, yes I have really lost it now. I have been working tons in my journal as you can see, but at this time of my life, I am happy with this. It seems like I can never get enough journaling. Yeaaa!

It has been raining here almost non stop since Sunday. I was supposed to go to the bay area this morning for work, but couldn't even see the hwy, because there were so much traffic and so much water. So I got about halfway there and said, no way!! Turned around and went to another of my divisions closer to home to conduct an audit, that needed to be finished. So now tomorrow I will try again, but it isn't supposed to be any better. WOW!!

My husband's computer grabbed a virus this weekend and so I had to take it to a guy to work on it, so $130.00 later it is clean. Oh well. We had backed it up in June, so he didn't lose too much.

Well back to my journal...............................Later!
