New art journal pages

I finally caught up to my word count. Its taken me a week to do so, but it feels good. I have writer 16,680 words so far.















Here are some journal pages recently finished.

















Here is another page on change, that is some of my paste paper on the right.












I have been trying to finish up a moleskine and here I even did the inside covers.

The found poetry says
My soul
what treasure
do you hear
with imagination

I enjoyed working on these pages, I used an old set of oil pastels, not the water soluble ones. I can blend them easily, they were fun to work with. I thought of putting something in the window but then thought its like you look into the window to see whats inside. The whole book becomes the inside.












I had to do an election page since I was so much a part of things. I collected images from the net and added some journaling on my experiences. So much hope now it needed to be recorded somehow. Do you believe I forgot to buy a paper on Wednesday.

I have a lot of golden paint and the one thing I run into is having a color in the heavy bodies line. Decided I wanted some Cerulean Blue Deep in the heavy body version. Michaels wanted 16.99 for a 2 oz tube. Yikes.. even with my 50% off coupon it was 8.50. I hope I now paint some masterpiece with it. I wonder what is so special about this color that it costs more than the others. I guess I will never know.

A Novel Approach

Well the paper is finally out. I am featured in the front page article "A Novel Approach". You can read it here. I have already gotten emails from two people interested in doing Nanowrimo so that is pretty exciting. I had wanted some press coverage for Nanowrimo this year and was happy to be able to arrange it.

I just voted and oh I felt so privileged and proud to vote for Barack Obama. That felt so good. I voted early because I may be off working in Montana for the campaign on election day or perhaps before that.



















Here is todays drawing. That makes 16 so far so I guess that we are past the half way point.
