Several weeks and many summer activities have kept me from all of my creative endeavours. My gardens are doing quite well, and the final phases of planting are complete! Today I have finally been able to sit down and work on some art journal pages that are long overdue. I'm currently waiting for Golden soft gel medium to dry on new pages, so I will post the completed ones for now. I've decided to use this art journal as a way to try out new techniques and supplies--so far, i really like the soft gel medium and crumpling tissue paper to be glued down for backgrounds. the pop-up is neat, but i don't think i would do them too often--well maybe in altered books...lol...while i haven't used it in the journal yet, I also like painting on bubble wrap to make dots on the background as well--
a journal prompt from a few months ago was "Fear"--now, other than sharks, i'm not terribly afraid of much--but there is one thing that stops me in my tracks--in the form of history repeating itself--only worse--losing the person who i am madly in love with--who has captured my heart mind and soul like no other--to circumstance...i couldn't bear it and i hope the universe shall never be so cruel--

I glued many textural bits to the pages and then painted over everything with black--i don't think it turned out the way i pictured, but it works. I wrote the text on white electrical tape with a sharpie--another new technique i like.
