Journal Pages: Doodles, Sketch, and Collage


Tempera paint on typing paper--created
while my grandkids painted too.
Doodles added using Sakura
white Gelly Roll pen. Originally to be
torn up and used in collage, but
decided to paste it whole
into my art journal!


Sketch in purple crayon~
toddler watching television...
admit it, you would like to
watch tv in your underwear too!
(click to view larger image, hopefully
you can see it better)


Collage borders from fabric, paper,
and drawings...waiting for writing
or more images.


On journal pages that are filled
with hand-written notes, I like
to add a little color. These
are tags collaged at the bottom
of the page.


Collage from a map, doodles,
a stamped image salvaged from an
envelope, drawing and writing.


When I won a give-away over at
Christine Cemmonson's blog, she
sent me some wonderful ephemera.
The chickens are from her stash.
It is a good challenge to
combine unrelated images and 
rather use them as Color, Shape,
Size and Value in the composition.

I have been wondering if I should
do the Index Card A Day challenge
over at Daisy Yellow again this year.
What do you think?

  5. Hey, I don't blame you for pasting that whole page in your journal! I love your page. I enjoy using gelly roll pens, too. When you use tempera paints, can you put glaze on them? I'd love to glaze them or seal them with gloss medium or somehting. But I get the feeling they are not moisture proof and will run.

  6. It can't possibly be this long since I've visited! But it HAS been. I wish you were writing my AB lessons: the ones I struggled with and you do so well.

    I would LOVE, LOVE to see your 30 days of Index Cards (or ICAD) again this year. It's a perfect way to work into summer, a great exercise, and a lot of fun for your readers. You know!!THE ONES WHO actually had time to visit the past couple of weeks (grin).

    At least I can wish you a wonderful Memorial Day!
