Journal page leads to other things....

Ahhh, yes.  I could do the required eyebrow waggle here, to indicate something naughty or luscious.  But the boring truth is, it just lead to more painting.  Which, in and of itself is not a bad thing, just not as titillating.  LOL.

So, I'm still playing with Teresa Mcfayden's Journal of Interest course.  And I'm jumping around a bit.  Her guest artist on there, the fabulous Pam Garrison, was one of the reasons I wanted to sign up for this class.  Love her.

Jouranl page by Pam Garrison, Guest Artist on Jouranl of Interest

Above is Pam's page, which you have no doubt seen on Pinterest, several times.    

My version ended up like this.  Not quite as open, but I was still happy with it.  And I could not find my dip pen, because I did want to do that, and I've got several around, but that's what it is to be UN-organized.  ugh.

So the page starts out like this, a mix of paper and water colored page (here, I used inks).  And then one begins to fill in the space with painted details replicating what is on the printed page.  I stupidly forgot to take a pic.  Because once I got going, I drug out the paints and went crazy.  Numerous projects began to follow.

And then, since I had already drug out the paints, well, I just decide to make a card (upper left corner).  This really is a lovely technique, and it lends itself well, not just to journal pages, but to cards, layouts, etc.   By then, I was on a roll, and ended up digging into my canvas stash as well.

So see, creativity, like any muscle, once stretched, who knows what one can do.  Wiggle your eyebrows here.
