Just Notice

i started with a piece of muslin and words printed on my printer and from there a project began to develop. using liquitex inks (only have two for now) i made my own spray inks.  they are quinacridone magenta and iridescent bright gold.

and my Twinkling H20s for more shimmer.

 

and my Strathmore 140lb Visual Journal, musical washi tape, book text, sharpie marker and snippet of threads from the sprayed ink muslin.

 

Nathalie at Creative Jumpstart has really helped me move past blasé.

 

 so its late and i played with my camera trying to capture the true color of my journal page. i think i finally achieved close to what it looks like except you can't really see the shimmer.

 

Just Notice

 

be observant

look up

listen

sounds of wonder

creation birthing

spring is upon us

listen  

observe, listen, beauty

 

something was missing in the left bottom corner and i could not leave it alone, so added punched eggs with stamped words.

 

new beginnings

and

then

i called it finished.

 

 

Joys of Joy

i am already loving this class - working in black and white.

this from two remixed art journal pages.

Reading Thru BIBLE

i committed myself to reading through the Bible again this year. can you imagine God became so saddened by his creation of mankind that He destroyed most through a flood bc of all the violence and imagination of man? sounds like today, nothing has changed. But for me personally what has changed is my love more and more for Jesus Christ who paid the ultimate sacrifice for mankind to have eternal life. i once was blind but now i see and see clearly. how about you?
