I know I have been missing in action. Here is what I have been doing!
Mary Ann Moss's class "Remains of the Day", http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/. I decided that it must be great on-line class because just about everyone on the art blogging planet was talking about it and I didn't want to be left out any longer . It truly is addictive. She creates wonderful journals using paper scraps, mail security envelopes and emphemera she collects from her everyday life. Then stitches them together with a sewing machine. Using her techniques I created two journals. I am going to use mine as a sketchbook/art journal. I don't keep a written journal but I am going to try to incorporate more journaling with my images. Because of this I have purposely left more blank space but love the combination of elements to construct a page in which to sketch on.
How wonderful! I just joined this class myself and am dying to get started. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your pages! I have my first book almost finished but have not yet posted any pics. I love the blank space you've left, and that you plan to use it as a sketchbook! You've solved a problem for me, since I sketch and doodle in everything. Now I'm going to have to do another ROD journal--one with some blank space....oh darn! LOL!! Isn't this addicting?
ReplyDeleteBoth your journals are wonderful! I especially love the graphic quality of the white stitching on the green inside this first one. And marshmallows dipped in paint?! Love it! Look forward to seeing more journals from you LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how the pages in this journal seem color-coordinated with the cover - it's just beautiful. I know, aren't we lucky that we all got to take this class?? Thanks Mary Ann!!
