So here are some pages I did last week. I’ve been working hard not to be a perfectionist with these.
I wanted a representative page for Carla Sonheim’s Silliness class so I cut out the crazy animal from the 0th class and colored it with my copics and glued it right on there.
The rolled up papers on this page were inspired by Somerset Apprentice Vol 2, art by De Anna Welch. For fun, I then cut out a butterfly and heart and covered them with glossy accents.

And one of the papers.
This next one was inspired by Somerset Apprentice Vol 1. You can actually see this one on the web page. It’s the one with the canvases backwards by Connie Govea Stuart. I took a tiny canvas I had, put some fabric in the back and tried to make a nest with a blue egg. The tiny word says domestic.
It didn’t turn out as magnificent as I would have liked but you live you learn. Closeup of the nest:
The back of that page was also inspired by something I saw in the same issue but I can’t even remember what anymore. You can’t see it but the cage and bird both have wax on them.

The next page in the journal was watercolor paper, so inspired by Nancy Lefko’s article in Art Journaling Winter 2010, I drew pears, colored them with watercolor pencils and water soluble markers:
and on the back, I drew some flowers and did the same coloring:
And finally, this piece was inspired completely by Somerset Apprentice Vol 1, too. This beautiful art in the magazine is by Sara Naumann.
And I am still filling those pages. Albeit slowly.
And that ends week 3.
