For the Art of it ...

Up to my elbows ...

This evening I have been up to my elbows in watercolor paints and loving every minute of it. 

Here are a couple of the art journal background pages that I knocked out tonight and I can't wait to put them to use. 

I am really enjoying my art journaling classes and learning to love all of the steps that it takes to make one page ... can't wait to learn how to journal.

I have a lot of cleaning up to do this weekend in the studio, but I haven't forgotten about the give away that I promised last week.  As I tidy up, I will put together a few prizes to give away ... so check back on Sunday for more information about how to win on of the prizes.

Fabric Album

This evening I finished my hand bound fabric album and I absolutely love it!!!  I can't wait to use it in my art journal class!!  I am a few days behind in my class but I plan on getting caught up tomorrow night ... looking forward to playing in the studio now that I have got a few days of work and clean-up under my belt.

So, here is the album ...

and here is a close up of the beading and hand-stitching ...
