Art Journal Pages


Watercolor & Crayon
Things that make me smile...
cartoons, sketches, polka dots, quotes,
and silliness!

If you can't quite read the quotes, hold down
Ctrl key and press + key until
image enlarges enough to read...




Pages in progress...
watercolor & mixed media,
vintage image clipped from a magazine



bits of fabric, hand-painted papers,
hand-cut stencil, scrapbook paper,
Sharpie marker & white gel pen.
The watercolor background does not
blend well as this is a dry medium sketchbook,
and the paper doesn't absorb water media well.
Hope to try making a little art journal from
Teesha Moore's instructions on her blog.
It takes me at least a year to fill my art journal,
and it's fanning out, stuffed with mixed media.
Hope the binding holds up...!

  1. I really love how borders look on pages. They add so much interest to the rest of the process. :)Bea

  2. I tried to make a couple of pages like Teesha Moore showed on her blog, but all I got was a bunch of messes. I couldn't get past the borders. I ended up ripping off all I had glued down. Yours are amazing!!
