Medieval 'Girls Night Out'


Art journal pages that are not
holiday themed have been happening
'behind the scenes'...


Above,  top portion of the page
 is an illustration from a book about
Medieval times...it just looks to me like
"girls night out."  I don't remember what it
really portrays...but they have interesting
'attitude!'


Artist quotes make me happy...


Linking up, very belatedly,
at Balzer Designs.

Art Journal Pages


Pages from the Pink Journal...
Whenever I hear the rock song "Barracuda"
I think of drawing something like this.
I finally tried it.
Not sure it is finished, as there
is still room at the bottom of the page!
I was tempted to draw an image
of the auto, Barracuda,
but cars are not something I like
to draw...we'll see.
What do you think? Does it need 
something more?



Facing page of the Barracudas...
a medieval inspired dragon
and motifs.



Pages in the Scrappy Green Journal
that Elizabeth made, in which I am
creating art.
It has become heavily embellished
with texture, color, drawings, 
and ephemera. It's getting quite fat,
so spaces between signatures
is a good thing to help compensate!
Vintage fabric in
the spread on the right is from a
dress of my grandmother's.


Another spread in the scrappy green journal,
the yarn on the right side is from another page,
but I just left it in the scan. Drawings from
Vogue magazine. Not sure why these shoes
fascinate me. Perhaps it's because I don't
know how anyone can walk in them. The boot
in the 'foreground' was on the page
that Elizabeth created.



Elizabeth included two pages in this journal
of a line drawing of a Campbell's soup can.
I don't know if it was intentional or not,
but I love them!  Andy Warhol art is 
always entertaining, so I enjoyed searching
for appropriate quotes and 
coloring the pages. Above, soup can
number two.



Soup can number one, shown in a 
previous post.

Seth Aptor is going to feature
"Stacks" on his blog next week.
On Wednesday, September 21, 2011,
visit The Altered Page to see stacks
of journals, sketchbooks, 
hand-made books, altered books,
and book art.  Seth will have
links to participating artists' sites.
I will be featuring photos of 
my stacks of journals on this blog,
so plan to visit me!
