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

Translation in English:

My beautiful butterflies

I will carry you

now and always

My beautiful butterflies

my beautiful daughters

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 finished page and the back of the page for Mary.

Received ...

The art journals are really moving, yayyy☺  I received a page for Mary (theme: Fairy Tales). A second AJ was delivered; theme is: Bygone Era, so it is Beth's AJ. I'm so glad to have an art journal of this round robin again. Beth's art journal is just sooo beautiful! It is so nice to watch impressions of the good old time. Awesome, really awesome.

Sadie's art in Lucine's Journal "Smile Do Not Fear"

Sadie asked me to download her spread. So, here it is. She is lovely and so is Lucine's journal.

Smile, Do not Fear

Hi Everyone, Just like Beth said below... I too had sort of a "artist's block" and had no idea how to relate to the theme and wanted to take my time with it as it's not my journal... right? So, after my Saturday morning Art Class which usually gets the juices flowing the idea came to me and I worked on it most of Sunday. Lucine, I hope you like it. She's at peace with herself...

Kalona's entry into Lucine's journal

The journal is titled "Smile, do not fear". As it was the first one I had received, compared to mine I was amazed at the level of construction, detail and the whole journal look...it was amazing, made mine seem quite empty and bland, never mind, as my first one from scratch this is a big learning curve....

Nervous to begin, I took some time thinking about what I would add. I was determined to let the book  and fate dictate my piece.Once I had opened my file of cuttings the idea began to form, and off I went.

"Your heart is in my hands" is a direct response to the first spread...

 I have used photos and transfers, ink and stamps, acrylics, watercolour pencils,crayons,gesso,wet-felt and glass beads. I hope Lucine feels it has done her journal justice, it was quite a challenge!
