Girls and Dolls

Kim Logan's tiny little pocket-ful book was so cute and fun to work in.  Her theme centered around children, so I found some pictures of girls with their dolls.  I never much played with dolls personally.  I was more of a block/hotwheels girl...  but there were a few dolls I liked.

Black and White

Time for another round robin, this one the Colors and Lauren Finley's Black and White book.  Lauren made a beautiful book and the work in it is amazing!!!  So that and the lack of color, really stumped me - especially after that crazy circus class that is still rolling around in my head.  So I sat on my page here for a while and finally let it go and finished it this weekend.  I hope Lauren likes it.

Whimsical Landscapes

I just finished my paintings for Karyn Gartel's online class Mixed Media Landscapes.  I got super behind in lessons and had to play catch up.  And I didn't venture much past what she did (-:   But it was a fun class.  And I enjoyed the pace and lack of pressure you get from an online class.  Thanks Kathy Mc for telling me about them.

Karen's Colors Book

I just love Karen Owen's green and brown book she has going around for the Colors Round Robin.  Green is my favorite color, so working in it was a pleasure.

Circus Circus

Wow, been a while since i posted.  I guess my excuse is the Art and Soul retreat that I went to a few weeks ago.  It was fun but exhausting and I'm just now getting some pictures of things I did there.  One of my favorite classes and most dreaded, was Julianna Coles Extreme Visual Jounaling class 'Circus Circus'.  I had heard people either love her cl asses or hate, hate, hate them.  And while I don't think I went into the deep areas some people go, for me it was a visual journey and a technique freeing one.  The project was a big book of postcards centered around different circus stories.  I've posted some pictures of my Big Top book here.  Since there are so many images I'm making a slide show of the rest.   Of course my other favorite part of going to Art and Soul is seeing all the other divas and friends I have made there!
