Well for those of you who signed up for the workshop you know that it is in full flow, and we have had some great lessons so far. You can still sign up as you get lifetime access. Why not check out some of the other class bundles that she is offering. You can check them out HEREI have been taking my time and really savoring the lessons and I decided to slightly change the way that I create my pages this time round.
Badass Art Journal
Kiala Givehand lead the journal construction in week 1. I used an old canvas that I felt wasn't working for me as a painting. As soon as I used it for the cover of the journal it felt right. I made a loop attachment so that the journal could expand especially if I collaged some of the pages.
Everything was stitched together and I have left the inside cover so that it can be an activity at a later date, possibly with some doodling or ephemera addition.The other thing that I decided was to do the lessons on a double page spread, but I didn't want to leave blank pages on either side of the double spread, so I have kept these pages all about the main page. Tiare Smith led week 2's journal page entitled Dream Girls.
For me this page expresses the dreams that I have when I sleep and the ones that I have when I wake. I may add additional journaling on some pages or use just one word to express what I want the journal page to say.
I really love the finish I used textured card and acrylic paints alongside some Inktense pencils which give you a very vibrant look
On the front and back of the double page spread I wanted to pick up elements of the main page. On this one I focused on the lips. Again, some dreams we can speak into existence. Many dreams started out with a declaration of what is to come.
An then the back of the two pages, I focused on the word dream and the eyes that can express so much - are they seeing the dream pass by or come to reality?

I really enjoyed getting back into the journal again. I will be posting another couple of pages on Friday, so do come back and see what I do.
