Yesterday's Art Journaling

We had a wonderful Art Journaling Class yesterday...eleven enthusiastic journalers!  For fear of "facing the blank page", I showed them a fun background to create...

for collage 

or for lettering.

A busy time and i neglected to take photos there...next time! 

on with January...

A poem from "Winter Eyes".  Wanted to letter it in my book with a wintery background, so tried a torn-paper stencil with acrylic paint on sponges and brushes.  Have to practice that again...

And couldn't wait to get back in the house yesterday morning and get these beauties down on paper.  Took Henri out early and these two guys were roaming around beyond our fence.  I journaled a little about it and the full moon as you can see below on the 24th.  

tiny watercolors.

journaling about classes, the coyotes and Handwriting Day!

and a little of this and that...

Journaling for January

A positive quote and a favorite cookie recipe to start off the new year.

Another favorite quote from Simple Abundance and a visit from a best friend.

And then my envelope, ready for saving things.

 Documenting days and poetry class.

More days' things to remember.

Poetry homework.

A start-of-the-year collage

Daily doings.

An unexpected road trip!

One tiny watercolor done so far; credit card size on inserted watercolor paper - need to do one once a week!

A page that I enjoy...the colors of the month and some little writings.

and more daily journaling...

Finally! December journaling...

Here we are!  

Just some feelings...

quotes and lettering...

a little magazine picture collage

and lots of memories...

and beginning the new year...

and more memories to keep.
