Art Journal Pages

SWAP SPOILER***********

I have done a few 4x6 art journal pages the past couple of days. I am signed up for a series of swaps for these. I enjoy using this size to create things, much more than an ATC, inchie, or a larger size. It works for me. I made 6 pages, but am only posting 3.

This first one is for a swap. The challenge was to do a magazine collage. I had so much fun doing this. It was therapeutic. The images came from Flea Market Style, Cottage Style, Romantic Homes, and Better Homes & Gardens DIY.

I made another one, that I am adding to my book of days. I went in a different direction for this one, using the images to create pictures, rather than just layering items.

And I had to play with the acrylic paints, of course. I like the way this turned out. The picture looks like there are white splotches, but really, it is silver sheen. I am sending this one as a RAK to the host of the art journal page swaps.

    1. I had so much fun! It was fun to go through the magazines several times and see something different each time. I plan to do more. It helped me forget about our situation for a bit, which is a good thing.

Thanks for commenting! I am always excited to know that someone read my words and had something to say about it.
