My first art journal.

Several girls I know have made beautiful art journals.  It seems like they all have their niche's on how they can express themselves.  I didn't know where to start.  Then, I came upon  Christy Thomlinson's "She Art" classes. ( I need to do a whole other post on all of the She Art I made.)  Anyway, she was offering an Art Journal class called the Art of Wild Abandonment taught by Junelle Jacobson.  I fell in love with this class and Junelle's blog Yes and Amen.  I learned to sketch and use all types of mediums including water coloring.  It was such an amazing experience and I loved every minute of my classes!





Here is an entry with acrylics and modeling paste.



This was one of my water color attempts I did on my trip to the cabin.



 This one is with parchment paper.  I love this one the best and it looks so pretty in person.




This was a fun one I did with acrylics and all types of fibers.  It is my little nest.




I loved drawing my sweet girl that gathered radishes.




Maranda watched over my shoulder as I watched blogs and made this one for me in our basement.
I happened to be sick in bed this day when she did this! lol!
