These photos show my process in creating these four journal pages. I was really happy with these. I don't know if it's the colors or their faces but these types of pages are pleasing to my eyes! In these pages I introduced a few different Art Journal techniques. The first one is the circle cut out which many of you have see me do in my last journal. I wanted to create a page like this to show my students. Immediately when I cut that hole the focus turns to all four pages instead of two. It's definitely more challenging and takes a little more planning. I also showed the way you can take piece of images from magazines and transform them into something totally different like the parasols I created from a flower and a random pattern I found in a magazine. Lastly I showed how the images on the different pages can be very different even when the faces are exactly the same.

Rebecca, these are wonderful. I love the cutout, it keeps it so interesting. The colors also are very pleasing. And again I love the parasols and will be looking through my magazines with a much different eye. I got a 1/2 off coupon to a collage store and I think I am going to use it on purchasing a moleskin journal.
ReplyDeleteI love the parasols!
ReplyDeleteRebecca,
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!!
I am sooo very glad you signed up for Sunday Sketches. It's a great group. Every Sunday we enter a sketch from the week. So glad you will be part of it...also, come join Creative Tuesdays...I am just starting to do that one too.
I hope you had fun rafting with your family!
xxoo
enjoy your Monday,
Heather
I am in awe! These pages are just awesome!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteI appreciate all the detail that you have gone into to show how to create these fabulous pages. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pages. I just love the parasols!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the step by step process to these amazing and inspirational pages. Absolutely brilliant in concept and completion! Thanks for all of your lovely comments on my blog Rebecca- you asked about the size of my digital pieces. I create all of my collages in Photoshop editor and I like the 12" by 12" size as it shows well on my blog. I wish I could display them bigger on Blogger ( don't know how or maybe blogger has a limit). I know that Typepad allows for a larger format but alas it is not free like Blogger. Again, thanks for following and your encouraging comments!
ReplyDeletenice post!
ReplyDeleteOh, Rebecca! So little time to blog travel today, but I HAD to check out your blog ... before heading off to work today. You ALWAYS inspire me, and today OMG! Your creativity and imagination are never ending! I LOVE your pages posted here! I tried a "cutting edge" technique in my journal while traveling last week, and will share it later, but it was NOTHING compared to this! You are AMAZING, lady, and I would LOVE to be present in your area to take your class!!! When you are inspired to create an online class, PLEASE notify me! A HUGE fan sending much love your way ~~ Jeanne
ReplyDeleteI love your pieces of art!!

Love it love it love it! I am now itching to try the circle face and lay hair over it! Thank you for these pages and the great ideas. I have to start an art journal, that's all there is to it! You and Creative Carmelina are masters at this. I love the idea that it is a way to keep a record of one's creativity. These are so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteSmiles and thanks once again.
these journal pages are absolutely delightful (and i've spent some time looking through your other work, and it's fabulous, too!!!)! i love the whimsical nature of your work! thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello.....it's great to meet you!!! :))
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog and to Sunday Sketches. :) No, there is not a weekly theme. You can sketch whatever you wish to. The only thing I ask is that you place a link in your weekly post, back to my blog. :) Simple as pie!
Again, welcome. You art is incredible. I'm looking forward to getting to know you on this new journey together.
This is very cool - we have a wonderful childrens book where the characters change in a similar way and it is inspiring! This is too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love love love the colors so much, and the expressions of the girls are just so wonderful. I love that you can guess what they are thinking when you see just a portion of them, and then you get a fuller idea of who they are once the pages are opened.
ReplyDeletewonderful to see your process and the wildly playful and creative results, thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteRebecca;
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your entire process. It looks like a very difficult layout to do - did you know what it was going to look like in your mind or did you just 'go-with-it'? I love how you cut out their blouses and the umbrella from magazines. This is a beautiful layout, really!
Do you think it would be difficult to teach?
