Artist journal, (again)

This journal is all made by hand, the covers, the binding, everything! I am working over an old journal and re-doing it. I love how some of the old elements show through. I have ripped, torn, and re-figured the pages, adding new work as I go along. I use acrylic paints and the backgrounds are watercolor washes.

"Waiting"

Waiting is a recurrent theme that I have in my life. I always seem to be waiting for something. I'm in tune to just enjoying the moment, but I always have a difficult time waiting. This piece is created on 8 x 10 140lb watercolor paper. Done in acrylic and graphite. Signed on the front.

Journal, artist journal, Sketchbook

I never seem to have the time to write a nice thoughtful blog posting. But I thought I would show you what I've been working on. This is my hand made journal. I have been slowly adding art to the pages and experimenting for a new idea that I have.

A new hand made original journal

I recently started a new journal. This one is completely made by hand. I made the covers and also did the binding. The covers are canvas board and I use polyester linen thread for the binding. It measures 8 x 10 and has lots of different size pages in it. More to come,,,,stay tuned... :)

She waited and waited for him, but he never returned. Her hair did grow longer, and she was grateful.

Rainy Day Painting on wood

I am excited about this new piece. It is created on wood with acrylics. I love the way the wood feels. The movement of the paint on the wood, and how the wood captures the paint. It has such a great feel to it. This measures 12 x 16.5 inches. I used artist grade acylics, graphite, and gesso. I was inspired by the weather here in Seattle. We are just starting our rainy season after such a long beautiful summer. This work will be in my etsy shop soon.

My new postcards just arrived! They are professionally printed and measure 4.25 x 5.5. They are glossy with a blank back. I created these from my original image in my journal. My friend said she looks like she's doing the "Down Dog" position in Yoga. I think she is Looking for love. Either way, send these sweet postcards to your friends, they will love them!
