This is a set of 5 over-sized postcards of some of my visual journal pages. Each glossy postcard represents a journal spread, and is 8.5" x 5.5". The printing quality is so good, you can read my writing and feel what I was feeling when I created the journal page. Keep it for yourself for art inspiration, or mail it. The back is blank, except for my information, so you can write a note and address it.
I was pondering yesterday's journal pages and the underlying theme that most of my journals have had to them (finding a more fulfilling career, more time for art/creativity) and one of my favourite quotes popped into my head ("Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Martin Luther Kind Jr.) and I was reminded that every journey starts with one step. I grabbed my versa mark stamp pad and inked up my entire left foot and stepped right onto my journal page. I covered the whole page with gold embossing powder and heated it up. I painted around my foot with blue acrylic paint, added the quote and my personal message down at the bottom. Very simple, very profound, very groovy! This is also the last page in my journal. Tomorrow I get to move on to a brand new journal!!! How exciting is that???
This book was included in the Visual Journals exhibition at Abecedarian Gallery in Denver Colorado in 2011.
The first page completed inside the first Full Tilt Boogie journal I made (June 18, 2011)...

Trying out a new theme for this month and probably some of January, a BLACK journal, even the paper is black. I've had this "memory" book for months and months, it's about time I used it!! The cover was a blast to make. All the stuff on the cover was stuff I had either lying on my studio table or shoved in the closet. I am borrowing my friend Mellie's Quick Kutz so that's where the really small letters came from. The blue snowflakes are painted with Lumiere paints and they are all shimmery and dainty. The jewels on top of the crown are little cell phone buttons that I got in a grab bag at a local charity, I've had those for years!! I'm so glad I could finally put a few of them to use.

Happy 4th of July :)
I had an unfinished page lying around, and it finally came to me as to how I could finish it. I love it when this happens :)
with this journal page, I was actually trying to make an art journal video. But that went to shit. :/

Here's the cover of my 2nd FTB journal. This time I used the covers from a vintage ledger that I then stamped with gold gesso...

I printed and cut out keri smith's 100 ideas to use as journal starters. This is the page that I put together to hold them. I glued about half of them to odd bits of paper, but I realized that gluing all of them would make them too bulky to fit into the envelope. That and I was getting too sleepy to continue.

I've been working on the Decorated Page Workshop from groups.yahoo.com/group/ArtistsOfTheRoundTable/ . This is still part of assignment 1. Gail calls the technique laminating a page. Basically, you just glue a different paper to the whole page.
I'm a bit behind on the workshop. Tomorrow we get assignment 3. Hopefully I'll get the second one done tomorrow. We are to decorate a journal cover. My current journal has already been decorated, but I may do one that I never did get around to decorating.
200709: Don't like very much: People who turn their flag according to the wind and change their mind just as it suits them because of their spinelessness. The saying "A stick in the ass does not replace a backbone" is unfortunately not mine.

200709: Schwierig: Menschen, die ihr Fähnchen nach dem Wind drehen und vor lauter Rückgratlosigkeit ihre Meinung immer gerade so wechseln, wie es für sie günstig ist. Der Spruch "Ein Stock im Arsch ersetzt kein Rückgrat" ist leider nicht von mir.
