"Parasol's & Pink + Orange Brick Swirls"
















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.

Happy Valentines Day!!
These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
