Re-Doing Some Art Journal Pages....

Thanks for all your comments on my Paint Party Friday painting. I almost gave up on her but I'm glad I didn't.
********************************************
After all that painting I was ready for something a little less stressful so I got out one of my art journals and was leafing through it. I came across this page....


I mostly used this to test some sprays. It wasn't anything I was attached to so I decided to cover it up with something else. I wanted to do something fast and easy so out came all my scraps of paper.


I used some paper tape and also some printed packing tape, a few stickers, and some rub-ons. It took me about 10 minutes to do and I was happy with it. Then I moved on to another page that I hadn't done anything on. It was a single page like the other one so I went to the scraps again....


It was difficult to photograph this one because of the dark violets in the center and the pale lavender along the border. I love this picture and have had it in my stash for quite awhile. I added some striped tape to the corners and Voila!!....I was finished. Plus it's good for Halloween!

They're all great pages, though I have to say that lavender and purple one is definitely my favorite!

Janet...love all the journal pages. I really like the tape additions...and tell more about the kinds of sprays you are using. Are you using the small Strathmore Journal for these pages? I like your face sketch for the Sunday Sketches...cool hair on that one!

Janet I really like your art journal pages! The themes and colors work well together!'
I appreciate the comment you laft on my blog....I think your blog is one of the few which still lets me comment (since my e-mail and computer have changed)...also I don't have the ability to respond instantly to your comments, as I did with my former e-mail.
Hugs to you! I always remember how you shared with me the technique for making links in my text!
