Art journaling- possibilities with video

opening her eyes……

so many things to see and take in. Are you watching? Looking?

with open eyes? to the possibilities.

to the beauty of everyday things.

tell me one thing you notice today and held for a moment before letting go.

I use coffee for plenty of things, other than just drinking, but the idea of actually just painting with it……

love. like big love.

the little tag on the far left- was painted just using the very end of the paintbrush. and i love the lines and the stray dot probably from brushes no longer conforming to the brush.

I liked that the cardboard had a hole punched in it (gifted from Tiffany Goff Smith), , that allowed me to find words and have the words be seen on the bottom layer.

and should we talk about that paper ruffle up in the corner?!….. ruffles of sorts, just make me happy. This one is not only adding a ruffly tab of sorts, but also another element to the page with the neutral brown paper as well as adding a few threads to peek out of the page.

i really liked the full page, but it was a smidge busy; so taming it down with some white was just the ticket to allow the cardboard and tag to really pop forward.

Here is the process video:

Thanks for being here.
