Art Journal Caravan Week 17 - Warhol

My computer is an iMac. It has a program called Photobooth. It allows you to take photos of yourself. One of the settings is "Warhol." Not the best, but it's fun.

Color Me Positive Week 18 - Healing

Gypsy Altered Book

I'm finally working on my first altered book! I've been wanting to try it for a long time.

I want to add some metal corners to the cover.

This is the inside cover and first page.

First double spread.

The second double spread.

I've got plenty more to go. I'm kind of learning as I go along, so there are plenty of imperfections. But I'm learning that makes art more interesting.

Dance In Paris

Digital Whisper Blog Challenge - Circus

Art Journal Caravan 2016 - Style of Tommy Watson

Some elements from Tangie Baxter's kit "Tribulations."

Waterfalls

I had no idea what I was going to do when I started out, but this is what I ended up with. :-)

Digital Whisper Blog Challenge - Mouse

This is actually an oldie but goodie. I've always loved Star Trek! I'm old enough to have seen the original TV episodes the first time they were shown. We thought they were so "futuristic." It's hard not to laugh when you compare them to today's new Star Trek movies.

This next one is especially for Patti! I wrote a crazy poem about a boy who lost his mouse. I created the pictures and had it put into a flip book. Unfortunately, I lost the link for the book and I can't show you online.

Trees

I love trees!

Chair 3

It's crazy, but I find these chandelier and furniture pictures very relaxing to create.

AJC 2016 Monthy Challenge - Use A Symbol To Represent Silent Movement

I used the bubbles to represent silent movement. :-)

Numbers

Art Journal Caravan 2016 Week 15 - Helen Keller Quote

The quote is much easier to read if you click on the picture to see it in a larger size. :-)

Color Me Positive Challenge Week 16

The full quote is, "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

It's All In The Rain

Not Belong?

Boy from Hidden Vintage Studios.

Art Journal Caravan Week 14 - Paul Klee

This is a real physical art page, so it's a little weird. But weird is fun, and Paul Klee's work is definitely weird! :-)

Journal 52 Week 15

Color Me Positive Week 15 - Happy

May your path always be filled with color!

Playing With Color

Just for fun!

Art Journal Caravan Week 13 - Music

The original background was a collage by Tangie Baxter. The instruments were from a kit by mzimm called "Sound of Music."

Color Me Positive Week 14 Challenge - Hope

Yep. It's silly. But cupcakes give me hope. Maybe there will be a big cake yet to come!
