I mostly worked on backgrounds this week because I was having fun creating them. I only have 5 pages left on the art journal I started in February. I’m looking forward to completing it. It will be the first one I will complete. Once all the pages are completed I will work on the cover. Once that is completed I will probably do a slideshow of the entire journal.

I did create one page this week in another journal. I failed to dry the letters after I painted them so when doing the next letter it smeared the previous. I fixed it as best I could.

Here are two of the backgrounds I created.

Not much was done this week because I have been resting. Last Thursday I went to the E.R. because I was in a lot of pain in my thigh.  The pain was excruciating.  I could barely walk.  After ruling out a few things the doctor came to the conclusion I had pulled/strained my hamstring.  He gave me some medication and sent me home.  Unfortunately the medication didn’t work at all.  I had to wait five days until I could see my family doctor. When I finally saw her she prescribed me two different medications; one was for the pain and the other was a muscle relaxant. Thankfully these two medications have been working and along with lots of rest they are making the pain tolerable.

I created this page expressing the pain I have been feeling. In the middle I have the medications I have been taking to control the pain.  I covered the words with drywall tape as a “bandage” containing them.

This was a bad week for me.  I wasn’t feeling well most of the week but I was able to art journal a little as well as finish up some atcs for a Doctor Who swap and some atcs for a Art Journal swap.

I really like how this page turned out.  It is one of my favorites.  Reading is also one of my escapes too so I included part of a page from a book though its just a dictionary page.

“Escape” Created 6/21/2013

The past two weeks I have been working on some new art for the note cards and bookmarks I sell on my etsy store, Designs by Pookie so its been slow going on my art website Unwavering Imagination.  I should be finished with it by early July though.

“Adventure” Created 6/10/2013

“Comic Con” Created 6/11/2013

“Just Playing Around..” Created 6/12/2013

Not much this week.  There would have been one more as it is almost finished but I have a really bad headache today so I decided to finish it next week.

I recently purchased a domain just for my art, Unwavering Imagination.  It should be all set up in the next few weeks.  Once it is that will be where I will be posting all art related blog posts. As well as a gallery of everything I create.  I will also move all the art posts on this blog to the new one but they will also remain here.  New posts however will only be on the new site.

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend!
