Splatters on all sides...
Hello Friday and hello weekend! I'm calling by with a tale of splatters in many forms...water, ink and orange juice. A strange trio indeed - but all true. The water is of course the incessant downpour of water from above, the ink is self-explanatory and the orange juice...well... Pre-baby "Dropping bloomin' everything" syndrome is in full flow. Whilst enjoying a day out with hubby yesterday, during a cafe pit-stop I managed to decorate the adjoining table and a highly unamused lady with a full bottle of orange juice. Modern art anyone...?
I've enjoyed a little 'just for me' time and was able to finish my journal pages which I'm also sharing with Art Journal Cafe and Art Journal Every Day. Do take a look. I'm still just allowing 'whatever happens' to just be and not worrying about set technique or styles. Just doing it my way, which is exactly what I need from my journal.
I'm more concerned with expressing the thoughts and mood of the moment. These two pages are all about my struggle with 'normal stuff'...
Learning to embrace everyday life and being ordinary. Not thinking you always having to be a something or someone special to count.
l started out by randomly machine stitching my pages to see how that texture would work as I added the colours. I tend to work over several days, just building up layers and colours. Walking away, taking a peek, and doing a bit. No pressure to 'get a page done'. My favourite bit is the circle. Love the green and white splodges and lines...
Gesso, Dylusions ink sprays, typing, stamping, stencils (home made and bought) black paint, lace, tag ends, book pages and water! Just no orange juice...
Okidoke, that was it! Rain or shine, enjoy the weekend.

I can remember a time when you were unsure about journalling but you are a true master/mistress (?) of the art of journalling now, just letting things flow, in their own time, nice that you are really enjoying it too, shows in your work. Love the vibrancy of your pages and the journalling is lovely too. Too bad about the OJ. Crafty hugs, Anne x
Those colors would help chase away the cloudy day!
Beautiful colors and design!

Sarah your colour combo's always blow mw away, I love this explosion of bright colour and organised chaos. I really adore the way you combine your layers and your colours, they always work so well. Michelle x
