Final page of my journal volume 3.

For Kelly Kilmer's A Prompt A Day Class.

This looks really scrapbookish. hmmm

It's been a long time since I did a page in my art journal and after reading the quote on a friend's blog, it prompted me to quickly put a page together. The quote is by Mary Oliver

"I feel my boots trying to leave the ground,

I feel my heart pumping hard.

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things.

I want to be light and frolicsome.

I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings."

Dementia sucks!

Free hand drawing using Gel Effects markers from Crayola, and metallic colored pencils. I have to say, these gel effects markers are highly addictive. I don't even think they make them anymore.

Scanner isn't working. :(

Today's page was made using scraps of paper I had lying around, yes, I usually have joss paper in my house, magazine cut out and a vintage photo I bought last week.

p.8 Our first day out alone—got to try out my Bangla-speaking skills. Got too excited ordering mishti. We meet Sandip. Taking a taxi where the driver needs to hot-wire it every time he turns the engine off at a light. Sealdah train station is awash in people.

p.9 A long train, our sleeper car is all the way at the end.

The next couple pages in my altered book. Bits and pieces, sketches and scribbles.

An art journal page that I did with my sister when she came to visit me. She made a page for her room mate, and I just used this one to demonstrate the technique that I was teaching her. :)

The photo is all wrinkly though!! ;o;
