Another quickie…just spray ink & pens.

Lately I've been focusing on the organic nature of journaling, of trying not to over-think every page. Of being in the moment and being at peace with it.

This page is just Tim Holtz Adirondack Color Wash ink and water-based Poster Paint Sharpie pens (in black & white).

I love it when a previous cast-off is just what you need…

to finish a page.

I had this crazy page going…paint, tissue, ink….everything I did made it worse. I loved the texture of it, though. Because the background was so strong, I knew I needed strong elements to go on top–something that would provide contrast and not get swallowed up in the texture and color.

I went through my "cast-off" box…you know, the box in which I throw half-done projects, experiments, inky tags, extras, etc. I found a messy piece I did about 18 months ago, I tore it up, and it's perfect on top of the textured background! 

Sometimes you just have to let serendipity happen in art.

It’s too hot to do much…

It was 116 F today. 

Misery.

I nursed my migraine with some caffeine, then took to my art journal just to spray & play.

Inky hands

Lots to do & lots due, but it's fun to play a bit! 

A quickie journal page…

Sometimes I like the random blots & just want to leave them be.
