Elvira's journal - Hands of an Artist

This is my page for Elvira 

Thank you to all of my fellow art journalers.

Being the last one to work in this theme I wanted my hands to be different and I tried to capture the way fellow artists work in each others journals- It comes from the heart, we need to overcome our own concerns and trust that our work will be received as we mean it and bring joy to the owner of the journal when it gets home but also to our fellow artists along the journey. Its a privilege to work collaboratively in this way.

and these other pages are just a few from all of the wonderful women who worked in this swap

So many beautiful interpretations created

I just adore the texture in this page 

It was a pleasure to journal with these talented women.

Below are the pages I completed for the three journals I have on hand:  Loren , Sadie, and Shari.  I'll probably mail out a box to Marie this afternoon (beat the Christmas shipping rush!).

Sadie's page

Loren's page

Page for Shari

Sadie's journal and Shari's pages arrived today (bundled together by the post office, no less!)

I just finished an All Hallow's Eve wedding page this morning.  I've got ideas for Sadie's and Shari's, probably get them done tonight.  Will post pictures of all three pages before I do a bundled mailing to Marie.

Double page for Shari

Hello everyone,

I received two art journals today. It's late and I haven't open the package yet. Packet sent by Trini. Will keep you updated. Hope you are all doing well:-)
Hugs,

Lucine for Loren: Halloween in Wonderland

Three art journals I will mail to the United Kingdom today. I finished the last art journal I had. It's Loren's with Halloween in Wonderland as theme. There are very nice pages in this journal. Here I share with the page I created for Loren. I wonder how I could mix Halloween with Alice in Wonderland. I assumed Halloween in Wonderland must be a mix of Halloween and Alice in Wonderland. Love this theme as it is another challenge to be creative in a very broad way. Vivid colours can be used on both themes, but one can choose to do Alice in Wonderland in a vintage look. Loren's art journal has black pages, so I used a lot of white in addition to collages. I hope Loren enjoys this page.

Haiku: Lucine for Sadie

Great things about a Round Robin is that someone's art journal passes you. You challenge the theme of your partner and share your page with others. I received Sadie's art journal a couple of weeks ago. The theme of Sadie's art journal is Haiku. So I will create an art journal page for Sadie in her Haiku art journal. Yes, I had to look up what Haiku was. Once heard of it, but I could not remember what it was. It is an interesting poetry style. I came up with several Haiku's and I share my best Haiku's with Sadie in her art journal.

These simple words

life hope trust

in our nature

We and hope

We and life

Mi Mariposas bonitas

Mi Mariposas bonitas

ahora y siempre

Mi Mariposas bonitas

mis hijas bonitas

vivir reir amor

Translation in English:

My beautiful butterflies

I love you

in my heart

My beautiful butterflies

I will carry you

now and always

My beautiful butterflies

my beautiful daughters

live laugh love

Sending love to all of you♥

Light through the cracks

Not much to babble today. Just two art journal pages based on the title of this post. 'Light through the cracks is the title of Ann's art journal. I have older post about the art journal round robin @ milliande. So I had to create a page in Ann's journal; it is a small book, so I created a double page. I like the title and I recognize it in my life. My Moleskine art journal was nearby and I did a page for myself. We have those days in our life and it is a relief if and when we see light coming through the cracks. Blessings to all of you^_^

The Missing Journals Returned

It was like a reunion on the weekend,

I reunited with some old friends-

I went out and collected the parcel from Elvira.

There was Sadies beautiful Haiku journal

and Ex has done a lovely summery spread in it.

There was a page for Mary

and Anne's Light journal-
no page from Ex in Anne'sjournal

And Loren's Halloween journal
with this page from Ex.

Thank you Ex for sending them on ,

they will soon be continuing their journey.

Anne's Nature Spread for Marie

Woo-hoo,  Marie will soon be getting her journal (now it's waiting for ice to clear from the ice storm we're in so I can get to the post office)!

I used gesso mixed with acrylic for the base background,  lots of stamping for the "brush", acrylic, ink, and more stamping for the tree.

Catching up...

Wow, it's been so long since I logged on here, updates aren't coming to my blog, I thought we were extremely quiet,lol!

What great news about the journals from Elvira!! At last we get a peek and to play in them too.

Let's keep things rolling, we're all over half way now, 

hugs

Sadie's Pages in Beth's Journal, "Bygone Era" page 1

Ok, I admit it. I can't do these posts right -- EVER! For some reason I could only get the second page of Beth's journal to display. So now here's page 1 -- I hope. Enjoy Beth. We'll get through this yet! xoxo, Sadie

Nope, it didn't load again. Beth, maybe you can post it for me? If I sit here all day it won't get to the PO before it closes!!!!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!!

I'm sure now that the image is too large, but have no idea how to resize it. So if someone could walk me through the steps I'll run this thing to the PO then come back and resize and hopefully post to this site. Whew! xoxo - Sadie

Sadie's Pages for Beth's Journal "Bygone Era"

Beth, your pages are finally ready! I hope you like my interpretation. Unnfortunately, the pages did not scan very clearly. I will be off to the post office in a few minutes. Then surely by the week's end you should have your journal in your very own hands again. And it is indeed a fabulous journal. Peace, xoxo, Sadie
