Lucine's entry for Louise

Hope all artists are doing well. It has been some weeks and I knew I wanted to give Louise a glimpse of my entry in her journal. I am not so satisfied with the pictures, but it gives you a peek of the page.

At the moment I have no journals. Looking forward to the next to work in. Have a nice Sunday☺

I have taken part in a couple of  Journal projects around the UK, and was really looking forward to taking part in an international swap. This is also the first one that will round robin back to the original creator, and I love that idea, a gathering of 17 artist's work in each journal to treasure afterwards. How special is that!

I loved travelling (pre-kids) and felt that as the journal will be doing just that journeying would be an appropriate theme. As many of us are also embarking on personal or spiritual journeys it seemed nice to combine the two...how does physical journeying affect our spiritual dallying? Where do we go to find ourselves? What places bring out the best in us and help us grow?

We each create our own journal, and I went for an experimental covers which can be found in my tutorial using perspex, inks and embossing powders. It's so light, just as well considering the miles it will travel...

Artist: Louise Kirby

Hi, I am Louise and I am a single homeschooling mum to 2 beautiful boys on the NSW north coast of Australia. I am passionate about art, making art, sharing art, teaching art and appreciating art. I have been making art all of my life, but only discovered the joys of trading art between artists from all works of life, all around the world in the last couple of years. I love collaborating on a group work and the idea of a round robin art journal is a beautiful one to me. I look forward to sharing this journey.

My theme for this journal round robin is “Totem Animals” I am a fairly spiritual woman and love to explore all kinds of spiritual beliefs from around the world, so as my little journal travels around our beautiful Mother Earth, I am hoping it will gather some wisdom to bring back to me, showcased amongst my 16 fellow artists contributions to my art journal.

Blessings

Louise
