Hello Everyone, This week I'm posting from my homeland, India. We had to make a quick trip and for the rest of the month we will be here.
As I was planning this trip, I also was thinking about the journals that I had to take. I made a journal to jot down our day to day lives and also to even glue down some pictures. I'm planning to share its pages in the coming weeks as I won't be doing that much art here. Just enjoying my holiday with my parents and other loved ones.
The book is mainly inspired by the works and classes that I've taken from the very talented Roben-Marie Smith, http://www.robenmarie.com/ Above is the front cover.
This is the back cover of the book. I did the covers on heavy Mixed media Paper
This is a page from the inside. There are always flowers and insects around here, where we are right now, so I felt it so apt to create pages that included them.
There are lots of layers to all my pages. Collage, stamping, stenciling and of course paints and inks. I did all my layers on 90 lb water color paper.
At the same time I also did couple of pages using deli papers and just doodled on them. Love this effect too.
Yet another page with lots of layers...
Thank you for visiting. I will be sharing more pages in the next week. I'm always Thankful and appreciate all your kind words and encouragement.

ReplyDeleteDelightful pages, Susan. I love all the flowers and insects, flowers in real life too, but not the insects.

Found your blog through Julie's blog. I love the colors that you used. And the doodles too. I see that you use deli papers--may I know whether you used the shiny or dull side? I just bought my first roll and not sure if the right side is the shiny side. Carrie
