Art Journal HOP

Rosebud's ART JOURNAL

A while back I won a bunch of goodies to start an ART JOURNAL SWAP...I called it a HOP, though.
Our first exchange took place, and this is the spread I added to Sandy Rosebud's book.  Everyone knows she is all about pink and lace....several layers of paints, papers, rubber stamps, images, yarn, ribbon, buttons...and doodles...and it is now off to Victoria...next in line, to add her little bit.

When it is all said and done, each of the 10 artists will get their own book back with everyone's art included!  I can hardly wait...I will post my entire book when I get it back.  For more on the ART JOURNAL SWAP/HOP...visit here.Traveling Art Journal

OUT WITH THE OLD...BRING IT ON 2013

one of my "old" faves

This is an "old" altered book I made with matchbox drawers...

letter charms were sewn into the pages...

very sexy, yes???



And for 2013, I vow to complete some of the many altered book projects that I have started and pushed aside while dealing with everyday life...

BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY AND

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

and if you want to be inspired with "prosperity" incense for your own ritual,

CHEERS!!!

Artistic Mother

I have been blessed as a mother!  I had a fabulous mother...and having my children recognize my passion for creativity in artistic ways, well, is just icing on the cake.  I received this book for Mother's Day.  It has been a soulful journey savoring the pages from day to day, and not rushing through it.  I create on a daily basis for my own well being.  If others enjoy my creations, it sure does make me smile:)  It gives me inner peace to know that  my heart, my soul, my mind and my hands can connect without much effort.  I am an Artistic Mother and I am happy!
