So look what is on my desk my much loved and used art journal and look what is beside it yes its all shiny and new and so flat next to the other one.. So glad I have not done the cover on the old one look at all the paint and stuff all over it but that will get rectified shortly. Have to figure out something special for it. There is about 6 more pages in the old one to do and its full but had to have the new one on standby.. These work so well for me, as this is my I don't care journal and its all just play.. If it works it works if it doesn't, well just turn the page.. Some of my favourite pages are in this though and as its my first ever mixed media journal so it will always have a special place on the shelf..
Some of my favourites...
Still my very favourite page, love the owls..
Well another WOYWW is here and its time to pop around desks with my cuppa and to see what you are all up to.
Have a great day
Sandy :)

ReplyDeleteah great things to share,Sandy .. and always great to look back on also :D Happy WOYWW Shaz in Oz.x #10
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!!!!Kisses!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, there is something special about a new book to get started on...pristine, white pages...the unbroken spine, the possibilities of what can be created. And then before you know it, it'll be full of your artwork...yay :-)

It's such a rewarding experience to finish working on an art journal, but so very exciting to see the possibilities in a new one. All 3 pages you shared are great, but my favorite one is the C. S. Lewis page with the ephemera. Happy WOYWW and Blessings!

How wonderful your journal is looking!!
ReplyDeleteI've been really slacking these days as, my muse has taken a vacation. I think it's time for her to come home because I'm ready to play!
Would love to be able to sit with you and thumb through your book, maybe with a cup of tea? And then go visit the chooks and take pictures of all the beautiful birds that visit your yard! That would be an awesome experience! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the bulky journal - it's so satisfying to have such a beauty filled isn't it? I always bind my own journals and use all kinds of shapes and bookbinding-stitches... I have several laying around that I work in (themed and none-themed) and I could not do without them. LOVE your blue page (the first photo) Have fun filling the last pages! Happy woyww and a hug from Holland, Marit #56
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to look through a book full of arty goodness? I can see why those are some of your favorite pages, thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteA Happy woyww to you!

Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteWow you have nearly finished that journey but a journey with wonderful art contained within, I love the owls page too. I can't say I have a fav journal as I have a few on the go but I am not doing much with them, yes I am guilty as charged.
Have a wonderful week crafting.
Happy WOYWW

Love your pages I am quite new to art journaling ( January). But it is great to just play for the sake of it .... Just because is a great reason

Hope you enjoy your new journal as much as the old one. Have a great week, Chris # 5 xx
ReplyDeleteWow, I can see why those are your favorites, Sandy! It must give you such an immense sense of satisfaction to leaf through that artist's journal. I know sometimes I look back on a card and think, "I made that?!" lol! So for something like this enormous and expressive mixed media outlet, you must blow your own socks off!! And you must be tingling with excitement to start a fresh new journey!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by to see me! It was so nice to connect today! Happy WOYWW and have a terrific week! Hugs, Darnell #18
Loved seeing some of your pages Sandy. I don't have a journal, but I do love to see old projects I have done and amazed of all the things I have learned since that time. It's always amazing to me seeing something old. I remember making it, and how proud I was of it...but looking back on it, I think SHEESH, I have learned so much since then. Love the Journey. Have a wonderful week Sandy,

I love journals like this though I don't work in mine as often as I should. They are a great place for trying things out and looking back at what you've done.
