WELCOME BACK TO MY STUDIO!

 The sun is out, and Art Cat is enjoying helping me with my projects. She is always actively involved in my art, and especially likes the 'paws on' approach.

 
Some of the pages shown here have appeared in previous messages, looking different. One of the joys of Art Journaling is going back and adding to a page when you get a new idea or some new supplies. The latest toys I'm using are transparent peel off paints, usually used on windows. They dry to a transparent, stained glass effect, allowing you to see all the layers beneath.





















For the collages I used: watercolor, acrylic, felt design pens, Painty pens, colored pencils, gel pens, tissue paper, newspaper, walnut ink, glitter, Conte crayons, acrylic gels and ModPodge. Try it!  Allow yourself to work through any ugly phases - just keep going. Have fun!
