The Beginning - My First Art Journal

Finally I threw caution to the wind and began to art journal.  I started with minimal supplies, old acrylic and watercolor paints, a collection of pens I got for Christmas, old scrapbooking material as well as some junk mail and magazines that were cluttering up my house.  I did purchase some Gesso and fiber paste to get myself started and began creating.

Here is the first page in my journal:

I've done a couple others I will post in the future.

Thanks for stopping by!

ICAD Challenge

I started this blog as a way to record my art journey, then I promptly ignored it!  Ignore no more!  I've been doing a lot of creating lately through a challenge called ICAD - Index Card A Day, put on by Tammy Garcia at Daisy Yellow.  The challenge is to create a piece of art each day in the months of June and July.  I've been having a blast and learning a lot from the other participants.

Here are the first 7 cards I created:
