Second day into an art journal. Still don’t really know what one is for, but it’s useful already. I have a large canvas gessoed and have stickers on it – stickers I’ve had forever, all with the work of different artists. I knew I wanted to use them, but then what? I did some studies on my journal. One, a total disaster. Thank goodness I tried it out first!
This one is not too bad, but I’m dumping the dots. The lines I would like to give a Mondrian feel to the canvas.
Precision is not my strong suit, so this will present a real challenge. Yet, I can use scissors pretty well! But the ruler will challenge me greatly. On my web page you can see some of my photo collages – fairly good scissor-wise.
In fact, for you Bakersfieldians, the collages are hanging at Metro Galleries on 19th Street in my Altered Landscapes show. It only goes through Thanksgiving so if you want to see it, better high tail it on down.
Just noon, and soon we will head up to Fresno for the So You Think You Can Dance tour. Top 10 from last season and it should be fantastic.
WOW! I’m so jealous you are going to see SYTYCD!!!! Have fun for me!!!

Cool! I look forward to seeing where this takes you, Susan!
And how fun to go see the SYTYCD folks from last season. I thought they were a great group. I love that show.
i agree…why is cutting so challenging…your page is so well laid out!
I love art journaling…but you are right….finding a direction can be challenging. I am working all this month on an “Impressions” journal where I create a variety of projects and collages inspired by impressionist artists…your art stickers could be a fun jumping off point.
