Marbled Papers and a Page

Thought I'd show some marbled papers I made a few weeks ago using an awesome, simple and fun method: Shaving Cream marbling! I used this Craftster tutorial. The papers turned out lovely, but they still smell faintly of shaving cream! Need to find a way to get rid of that smell...


And here's my February page for Kathryn's calendar challenge! I actually made this page weeks ago, I got a little ahead of myself and made a bunch of monthly spreads. Awesome challenge!


Hope you've had a good month!

More journal pages!

Well, there hasn't been much crafting going on here, apart from my journaling! I'm really enjoying playing around with colors and techniques.

I like this first spread a lot. I was trying a new color combo and attempting to add more collage to my pages (I've been mostly painting lately). I'm pleased with the result!

I've decided to join in Kathryn's challenge to create a calendar page for every month this year. Lots of fun! I must admit that I have skipped ahead and done more than one page already... For more lovely calendars, see the challenge flickr group.

Another page, haven't added the journaling yet. As in my first journal, I'm doing a lot of imitating (why don't we call it "interpreting"? sounds much better!) other, more talented artists... Trying to find what styles I like. Here I'm playing around with different facial dimensions. Inspired by tollipop on etsy.

First ever visual journal!

I'm so pleased that I finally finished my first visual/art journal! I started this way back in August. It's a moleskine volant notebook so it has around 90 pages. I really had a lot of fun with this, and I love looking through all the pages. Can't believe I created all that!

These are some of my favorite pages:

This page is inspired by a photo on flickr.

A "fall" themed page made in November

This is a fantasy landscape, supposed to look like a far away planet... :-)

Do you journal? What do you journal about?
