Fill the Pages




The Documented Life Project 2015:
"Life is a book, we fill the pages."
Squares of painted paper cut into
1 3/4" squares and glued to
black card stock. I had plenty of
scraps to choose from!
Most are watercolor and Sharpie
pen, but some are acrylic paint.
(please pardon the shadows...the paper is really cream colored. 
I was having some difficulty getting the page on the scanner properly)



The theme for the week was supposed
to be all about the words...so I did write
some words on a few squares. But for
some reason the painted papers were
what really made me happy, so that's
my story, and I'm sticking to it.




Linking up with the T Tuesday
gang over at Bleubeard & Elizabeth's.
Sharing my drawing of a wonky tea cup and 
having my mocha coffee. (Yes, it's ok
to have a beverage other than tea)
Join us for a beverage of your choice,
a pastry, or maybe even some
creativity!

Give Away Re-Draw. Journal Pages Too.


The Ephemera Give Away winner 
did not respond to my emails. After waiting
over a week, I am following Elizabeth's advise
and am re-drawing from the comments
originally received.

The winner is
(closing my eyes and drawing a slip of paper...
going low-tech here)
HALLE!

Congratulations! I'll be visiting
Halle's blog with the news and sending
out the goodies soon...

 
Art journaling on scrapbook paper.
Paint, Sharpie pen and white gel pen.


More drawing on scrapbook paper.


The brain image is a magazine clipping.
The flowers are my drawing/paintings.


A quote and a piece of popcorn bag.
Bottom circles are page reinforcements.


An unfinished page.
The border is a photo copy of 
a drawing I did, then colored with markers.
Inspired by illuminated manuscripts.


Flower inspired.
Magazine clippings and my drawings
on a brown envelope at page bottom.


 Vogue inspiration!
I love the magazine's graphics and layout.
I know...the clothes are often crazy,
and the models unnaturally thin.
It is another world...of money,
glamor, and designers.
Always interesting to see what the
designers come up with...more Art than
what most people would actually wear.



Wish I had the nerve
(and the pocket-book)
to wear shoes that look like
vintage cars!
