Creating  Every Day….

I’ve been working in the journal that I made from the old children’s book, I talked about it here.visual journal

I added watercolor paper mainly in this journal. So it’s ready for whatever type of mixed media techniques I want to play around with.  I do love watercolor paper!  I have journals with other types of paper and I like the feel or look of it, but the bleed through that results sometimes I find very frustrating.  I have just been adding whatever strikes me at the moment in this journal (as you can tell), no rhyme or reason.  The previous owner of the children’s book had glued comic strip pages inside.  I left them for character marks.  You can see them in the background in the first picture.

I made a spot in the living room for my “auction find” paint table.  I love my Inspiration Room in the back of the garage, but I really enjoy being a little closer to the wood fire in the winter.  Although my stash is getting bigger and bigger inside.  I keep going out and bringing more in.  Using two spaces can get tricky.  Our living room is pretty cozy this time of year though and January is my hunker down month…ahh enjoying!
