Journal art






















These are photos of another spread in my recent journal. The page with the bird was done with a magazine transfer. The other page incorporates my color-drop watercolor flowers. Both backgrounds were created with decorative packing tape, gesso,acrylics and some collage here and there.

I hope your weekend was a good one for all of you. Our weather, here, wasn't the greatest - kind of rainy, damp and cloudy but there is hope for today with some sun! Ya gotta love the every day!

Stay safe and well; enjoy your week ahead.

Much love - Marilyn xxoo

Anyway, you have brought sunshine to our day by sharing these pages.
Amazing jolts of colour and fabulous use of techniques.
Hurry up with the next pages, I am getting impatient LOL.

A voice like a bird...oh yes with a song to be heard. Beautiful journal pages. Love the colors and the transfers. Your watercolor drop flowers are very cheery and bright...just right. Better weather for you dear...
We are in summer right after our super long winter. No Spring here but lots of sunshine and blue skies and I am loving it all.
