Next Art Journal page in the A Year in the Life of an Art Journal series. G is for grow.

What a perfect word for the last 13 months of my life.

This page is near perfection for me.
It turned out almost exactly like i saw in my head (except the sunflower is too painty, but oh well).

I used a couple of gel transfers on this from photoshop brush patterns i printed out. Also the quote is gel transfer - i printed all the quotes from that HUGE list i've been keeping (udated almost daily btw), but i printed them in mirror image to use with the gel transfer, and let me tell you, it's a bit of a challenge to figure out what the quote says when it's backwards! LOL




A couple of months ago i won a "paper pack" from an Etsy shop of cool found images - the cut out dress is one from that. The shop is http://onegoodbumblebee.com/ and i highly recommend their "piles of paper" for inspiration!




This came out of a learning and growing experience me and my two best friends just went through. It blows my mind how the paths we've all chosen to go down are so different yet our friendship is still always there!



I think my handwriting ruined this page, but ... oh well ...




And yes it's a U2 lyric :-p

emains dark and grungy, at least i'm super energetic about just creating stuff.

art journal F page for the A Year in the Life of an Art Journal.

Lots of paint and stamping and melted tissue and my first try at a gel image transfer. That's a photo of my grandmother from days of yore. Gel image transfer is a cool idea but kind of a pain in the ass?

I love the colors of this page :)
