Journal pages
|
I created a couple of new pages in my journal. I really like how these are turning out. I wanted to show you the leather journal itself. It is made by Susie Shipman over at Island Bound Books (you can google her). The craftsmanship of her journals is amazing! Look at the stitching! And the fabulous hand made iron forged button! The paper is thick, can hold any medium, (I use acrylics),,,and they are works of art within themselves. I love them! Since I loved the journal more than my old artwork, I decided to paint over the old pages. I really love all the old texture showing through underneath. I am happy I took a chance to re-do these. Never be afraid to paint over something you have and start over. I am sure you will be happy with your new results.

Hi Tara
I have just discovered you and I love your work. It has really touched me and I find myself in tears watching all the beauty on your blog. I am so inspired and full of emotion at the moment. You are trully talented and your inner beauty is projected through your work.
I have only started to blog this summer about my art, it has been very personal thing for all my life but I now have the confidence to display some of my work. My passion for it is growing deeper and deeper and I would love to do it full time. Thank you for the inspiration and the beauty. Keep up the good work. I cannot express how much this blog has touched me Tara!
have a good Christmas and a brilliant New Year!
I am loving your journals. You have inspired me to attempt one in 2011.
Chelsea, thank you so much for your kind words. Without art I would be lost.
