Photo Collage

I just did this today so thought I would add it to this post. It's a sheet of canvas sprayed with white webbing spray then spritzed with "graphite" Glimmer mist. Some images, transparencies, german scrap, corrugated cardboard stamp, and some rubons and some strips of scrapbook paper for her dress.

Nothing terribly exciting but I just wanted to try my hand at the Picasa photo collage (needs some work) . These are a few pages from some of my art journals and the the cover of one, also a snippet of the inchie canvas I did a few weeks ago. Not sure if you can click on the individual pictures for a larger view. I'm supposed to be making a few Christmas cards, but it's been such a long time since I made one that I think I've lost my card "mojo". I've got so many things started and not finished. Whenever I start something it seems to lead me to something else that I want to try so I tell myself that I'll get back to the original project once I've for instance, made a few clay pieces (my latest craze) so while they are drying I'll continue on, but while I'm making the clay bits and bobs something else pops into my head that might compliment the clay and I'm off on another tangent. Oh well I guess that's the nature of creating, one thing leads another and so it goes.

Journal Junkies

Well Sunday was our first "Journal Junkies" get together. We decided to hire a hall instead of trying to squash into our respective houses. As there's 8 of us and with all our "stuff", we thought a hall would serve our purpose a lot better, which it did. It was very spacious with plenty of tables and chairs, a kitchen, really good light and lots of room to spread out. Everyone arrived pretty much on time with the exception of Suzzanne, but we know she's always late.........I think we'll have to call her "Got lost again Suzzanne" . Only one didn't turn up, but she's busy swanning around Canada and taking lovelly little day trips to Niagra Falls..... aren't you Joanie. Thank you Carmen for organising the hall and the beautiful strawberries and icecream you brought, they were delicious. Everyone worked on their respective projects, some doing pages for various journals they are working on. Kerin working on a wedding album she is making for a friend and all of us being very productive. I hope I haven't mixed up any ones work, if so let me know.

This is what I did. A bit of sewing and glueing.
