More calendargirlz round robin work....

Here are my latest contributions to the "Calendargirlz" round robin.
This month I worked in Patty's "Inuit Art" calendar journal. I have been looking
forward to seeing this particular CJ. I kept to the theme of the journal
as much as I could since I really love the artwork of the Inuit people.

Art Gypsy Journal....

Over the past few weeks I have been working on a new journal, an "Art Gypsy Journal". I've created another blog and I have been posting weekly exercises there, following the steps I am taking for each weekly spread I create. If you are interested in checking out the blog, or joining on the weekly exercises, you can do so by clicking on the link below the photos:

And, BTW, I would be absolutely thrilled if any of you would like to join in! The exercises are into their 3rd week now, but only one spread a week is created. So, it isn't too late to join in! Anyhow, I thought I'd add photos here of what I've created in those 3 weeks. I hope to see some familiar faces joining in @ "ART JOURNAL GYPSIES"! Warm hugs, and happy art journaling!
Vale :)

This is what I created in the latest calendar I received.
It's Jo's "Around The World" calendar.
Of course, right away I began singing the
theme song to the movie "Around The World in 80 Days".
So, that's the idea I went with for the spread.

Beginning a new art journal...

Aside from the latest "Soul Journal" I've started,
I've begun a new art journal for exercises in
varying techniques and art supplies.
This is the first spread, a claiming
of my new art journal.

Collage Potpourri for my Soul Journal

Here are the latest additions to my Soul Journal.
They are are for the six page collage potpourri. In
the bottom photo, I have added some doodled
black hearts and red blood droplets to my
"taped" page using permanent ink pens.

Here are two more spreads I've created following the instructions of "soul journaling".

SOUL JOURNALING: Day 2

Here is what I have done to complete the randomly papered, gessoed and journaled pages in my previous posting. I am thoroughly enjoying the "soul journaling" experience! Instead of using armor for page two of my soul journal, I used an "Inukshuk" to symbolize my source of strength, direction and safe haven.
