Saved Stuff


I don't usually put this type of journal page on this blog as I tend to stick with drawings but this one includes old sketches I was trying to find a place to keep when I threw the notebook they were in away. I was working on a page in my journal and needed to put a protective sheet under it to protect from runover. I didn't realize it had something sticky on it which ended up transferring to my journal. Thank goodness it wasn't a finished page but I couldn't shut my journal like that so I ended up sealing the sticky with acrylic paint layers. I added a couple of strips of paper to tie two sketches I wanted to save together and glued the sketches on top. I ended up saving my old sketches and my journal with a page I am quite happy with. I added the hearts and flowers just because I WAS happy about saving the page.

  1. Very creative page!! I'm so glad that you came by to visit. Since there have been so many changes in EDM, I don't get around to visit as much as before.

  2. What a fun way to save things when things don't go exactly as we want them to. I am a messy artist with stuff strewn all over the place. Yesterday I tried Calligraphy with black ink... needless to say it wasn't pretty!!! lol. Thanks for sharing.
    Thanks also for your lovely comments on my blog. I love hearing from you.
