I was talking to my Dad today, and something he said made me think of this page spread in my Journal the Journey journal. So I thought I would share. I did this spread after receiving one of my favorite, inspirational how to sell your art books, Holy Moly Mackeroly. It is by Gloria Page. If you can get a… Read more →
These are just some random pages in My Art House Journal. In one of them you can see my frustration at the doctors office. I kept have these test done, where they stick needles in you and then, run electricity through the needles. Not fun! I was waiting to go in after x-rays and dreading the needle portion when I… Read more →
This is the front of one of my journals, Blurred Art. I have been gluing things to the front of it for years. I have had some really wonderful things donated by friends that I attached as well. I always wanted to cut a window in the front. Never have, and now the inside cover is fairly decorated, so maybe… Read more →
I love this spread that my father did in our joint journal. I get a kick out of the actual train tracks on the page, every time I look at it. Plus he talks about ancient history, which I love to hear about. On the left is a picture of my Dad with Uncle Richard, his best friend, and he… Read more →
For Father’s Day a few years ago, I made my father an amulet bag with an eagle feather on it. I thought he might like to see the process of it being created, so I journaled about it, in our journal. I had kept all of my research printouts so I used them, and I photocopied the charts I made… Read more →
All right, so this is a little redundant, but the two journal spreads turned out so different, and I like them both. I had done this spread in my latest journal, no title yet, and liked how it turned out, so I thought I would share with my Dad, and did a spread in his (see post from 6/2/08). I… Read more →
This was the first spread I did in the journal I am doing with my father. I love the swirl on the right side, and I am kind of proud of the pea pod drawing. I am a terrible sketcher, and have a hard time with perspective, so it is not great, but I think, for me, it was pretty… Read more →
I love the look of a bookSpilling openFrom all of it’s treasures. It looks so richand so full of life and love. A living, breathing treasure. Every time something new is added,It accepts it,and opens further,To expose more of its self. T.C.R. Read more →
I had the best time making these great big rolls of papers. I think they were for my fathers Birthday. I spent days making brown paper bag papers, and polished marble papers and laminated tissue papers. I also went through my vast stash (gasp!) of paper and picked out choice pieces to add. I rolled them up and tied them… Read more →
I wish I could remember the name of the woman who’s art car this was. She lived about two blocks away from me, but it was a friend of mine who got in contact with her, and arranged for us to work on it.My part is in the center of the picture, the sort of wedge shaped part. It was… Read more →
