Art Journal Pages for the Week
Its been a couple of weeks since I have done some art journal pages. I hurt myself pretty bad a few weeks ago and couldn’t sit, stand or walk much so I was unable to do anything since I was mostly on bed rest. Last week I started to feel a bit better so this week I was able to sit for a while and work on art journaling. It felt so good to be creative again. Even though I am starting to feel better I have to remember not to over do it.

Art Journal Pages for the Week
This week I was able to art journal every day except Thursday because I had a really bad migraine. I don’t count weekends because I am usally too busy to work on art journaling. I also journaled a lot more than before. I usually don’t write much because I like being private. I also hate my handwriting since due to carpal tunnel my hands shake quite a bit when I do a lot of writing, drawing, crafting etc.
While searching for technique videos on youtube I came across Lesile Herger’s Sharpie Ghost Technique. I like how I can journal about anything especially something I may not wish to share but still be able to let people see the page. One of my pages was created with this technique. I will definitely be using this technique again in the future.
I also created a page that I really dislike and really didn’t want to post. I wasn’t feeling well when I created it on Monday. It started out fine until I created the face. I probably should have tried to peel it off and maybe gotten something neat from it but instead I chose to finish the face off and let it be.
Here are my pages for this week. You can click on them to get a larger image.

Art Journal Pages for the Week
Here are the pages I created this week. You can click the images to get a larger and easier to read version.
“Dark Dreams”
Created using watercolors and watercolor crayons.Created 4/1/2013
I had created the black and purple tunnel a while ago but even though I liked it I couldn’t think of what to put on it. Then while searching for a dream quote I came across this Edgar Allan Poe quote and I thought it would be perfect for this page. I then added the silhouette figure of a woman staring into the dark tunnel.
“Dreamer”
Created using inks, acrylic paint, washi tape and punchouts on watercolor paper.
Created 4/1/2013.I tore out pages from an old dictionary that had to do with dreams. I then found this quote about dreams from Harriet Tubman that I really liked. Unfortunately the glue mixed a bit with the paint I thought was dry and seeped through the quote.
“Love”
Created using pearlescent watercolors, oil pastels and acrylic paint on watercolor paper.
Created 4/2/2013.I wrote love in 7 different languages. The languages are English, Spanish, German, French, Romanian, Czech and Icelandic. Unfortunately its hard to see all of them in the picture.
