The final calendar journal for 2008

Well, here is my final contribution to our 2008 calendar journal
round robin. This year's CJ RR has gone by amazingly fast;
I can't believe we've already reached the end of our art
journaling journey! This time around I worked in
Lizbeth's journal. Above are the pages I created.

I've had a couple of days free to myself, so I
worked on my spread for this week's exercise
over @ "Art Journal Gyspsies". Above is what
I've created. I decided to use a freestyle poem
that I wrote. Since the first page of my spread
turned out to have a rather dark & serious
atmosphere to it, I thought I'd take advantage
of my initial "V" and use "Stone Maiden", my
poem about an encounter with a vampire!

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.
