Green Journal Bingo


The first page, above, from the Green Journal, sent to me by Elizabeth. I got in a
hurry and glued on a bit of cranberry tea packaging before I remembered to scan the page for a "before" shot! Don't you just love the little bird sticking up on one of the following pages? Below is what I did with this fun substrate...



I put a thin coat of gesso on the Bingo card, added painted papers, drawings with marker and a fabric strip at the bottom. The text is cut from a book to create "found poetry." It reads:

Sometimes I feel like
spirit and energy brings
seeds
simple, profound, golden
a garden.
I whispered
create
vision
unimagined.


You can click on any image to see a larger view. Below is the next page, with some text already begun on the page. A clear sleeve is cleverly attached to the edge of the previous page, so it folds out and can be filled with whatever I like. I am working on little collages to fit into the space.



My journals are usually about the visual art rather than the writing, but I am going to try to do a mix for this journal...I often use quotes that strike my fancy, but for this journal I am going to try to include some personal insights...moving out of my comfort zone a bit! Either way, visual art or writing most prominent, I find that it is relaxing and healing...

  1. You have really transformed this book already. I'm so glad to see you working in it, and LOVE what you have done so far. The idea of adding personal thoughts to this journal is a compliment to me, whether you realize it or not.

    I have to agree with the sentiment about procrastination. I know I put off making Kayla's cover of her book until after every other book was made, even though hers were the first pages I made. Seems when we are intimidated, the same thing happens. Lovely sentiment to go with the three slides.

    And the first page you made was simply INCREDIBLE. I would never have thought to do what you did with the bingo page. My mind simply doesn't work that way. Guess that's why I don't journal (grin).
