Page 3 double spread is Music one of my favourite things. Having learned the piano as a child I appreciate many types of music but focused on Classical for my theme.

Art Journal Me page
I finally started my Art Journal after saving ephemera and ideas for some time. The first page shows 2 map scraps. One with the area I was born and Blackpool where I have lived since I was 13. The bus ticket stamp is from the area I came from and the sisters stamp is my little sister and me. I used my favourite quote and of course Blackpool Tower had to feature somewhere too.
A Yahoo list I belong to are doing a similar thing and it is very encouraging. The idea of using descriptive words came from there.

Art Journal Page 2
Page 2 starts a section on Hobbies and Things I Like that I have enjoyed since Childhood Days. This page focus's on Stamp Collecting. I have 1,000's of stamps mainly GB and Poland where my Grandfather was born. I love Mail Art rubber stamps too.
My weakness is the journalling part.Wednesday, 25 July 2007

Shabby Chic ATC swap
I created a set of 3 ATC's for a swap. To get the 'look' we had to use gesso in 1 of 4 ways. I chose to brayer die inks and gesso so stamping was involved.

Small canvas I am working on
I used lustre colour washes. Laying down some colour first I then spritzed with water. I covered with cling film and scrunched it up and left overnight to dry. It left an interesting pattern.
The next step was to find some foliage and texture material. I used a fern from a friends garden and a piece of hessian. Laid them down added more colour. It looks even more interesting now.
