Easter jourals ready

boy it sure feels good to be back into my art- i made eleven small journals for my thursday nite metaphysical group---(pics of 3of them follow)

they were all really thrilled with them and i have to admit i was too--

they were easy to make
just take a sheet of cardstock and fold in half - decorate any way u would like- take the paper for the pages - fold it in half- (these have 20 pages) so ten sheets of paper -- and staple into book-i took the journals to Staples since they have a 12" stapler and they stapled them for me!

i have never used really good acrylics before and they really do make a difference!!

book pages were glued to cs with gel medium then yellow,orange, burnt umber acrylic painted over them-photocopy of mother and child, butterfly sticker, and gold paper ribbon



rubber stamps on white paper was used as background and i cut out the guy from a magazine



lisj1"a mother's love"photocopy of old photograph,onion skins, acrylic washes and postage stamp



to see all the journals go here
Journals


my landscape guy,robert, came today to start on the outside patio but after talking to him awhile i decided not to go with pavers but with flagstone so he didnt do anything today-- and i went shopping for the stone. i found a good deal on a pallette so bought it and had them put another one on hold as i dont think one will be enough
tax time too so have been working with my acct and trying to get everything ready for her-- i have to pay florida intangible tax this year--so there is more stuff to organize and go thru

thea's brother,john, is coming over tomorrow morning to finish some painting - my office is three quarters done and i cant reach the part that needs paint so he is going to do it and also some other "handyman" things i need done...he will be here at 730am and i need to hit the hay as i havent really slept much the last week-- not going to bed till after 3am...
so i am gonna toddle off to dreamland----
