The World as we like it

I made a couple of spreads recently, this first one utilizing only pieces that were available on my worktable...just random papers etc.

This next spread has many layers of paint, stencils, wax crayons, a few images, and a whole lot of playing.

Playing in my art journal - again inspired by JournalArtista's Ustream.
Sometimes my 'layers' get to be layers because I need to delete and cover up bad pages...lol.

Fashion Plate

Paperdolls from the newspapers, and some serviettes - also buttons and inks for stamping on the right hand side. The tree is from a box of spritz boards.

Homemade is Best

Another journal page, using an ad from a vintage magazine.
Lots of spray mists on stencils, stamping (I can't say rubber-stamping any longer, as I have been using some awesome acrylic stamps these days!), acrylic and watercolor paints.
This page inspired by Journal Artista on Ustream.
