Working on a few botanical journal
mixed media pieces on a very rainy Friday morning.
Textured background created by tossing kosher salt
into a watercolor wash..really cool effect!
This thistle piece is in my No More Excuses journal.
And remember you can still leave a comment to win

No More excuses....
Have a safe holiday weekend!

You are such an inspiration to me, Chris! Almost makes me want to go back to watercolor (she says, as she uses acrylic in her journal yet again :-)).

I have been wanting to learn more about art journals. Thus would be a perfect "teacher."

What a timely reminder...so easy to find distractions when we could be guided and create beautiful work as you have in this DVD.

So great finding new and beautiful blogs with Gina's Blog Hop Party! I posted a comment the other day, but came back for a closer look around your blog this morning. Absolutely LOVE your pink peony - I can almost see it wafting in the wind :o) Watercolor is still a bit intimidating to me, but I keep pushing myself. Your journals are chock FULL of great inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is all so new to me - I don't know where to begin, but know I want to walk this road and soon! What I see is so inspiring and my hope is that I win this awesome book and start on my journey of artistic self expression. I'm also enjoying exploring the blogs on this hop! Thanks for the chance to win.

Always forget the salt texture...perhaps because I'm usually out with my sketchbook/journal. lOL
Lovely flowers. Hope the weather improves.

I've been keeping a daily journal for about 1.5 years, but it hasn't been too "artsy". I would love to learn to let go more, and add more sketches/paintings, into my journals.
