For the past couple of months I was having some serious problems with my hands. I was unable to stitch (my livelyhood) & had to cut back on my art and hobbies. Needless to say, I was pretty down.
My sweetie said to me, "I promise that things will get better." I wanted to believe it ... but sometimes it's hard to keep the faith when you're down. So, I made this page in my moleskine notebook to reinforce the message.
It has been about 8 weeks now & things have indeed gotten better. My hands have almost completely recovered. I am stitching again & making art again. Yay!
The page was done in acrylic paint and lined with Indian ink.
Doodles, drawings, and collages from my collection of journals and sketchbooks.

Drip, Drip, Drip
A page from my "Wreck This Journal". The instructions: "Drip Something here. (Ink, Paint, Tea) Close the book to make a print."
I dripped ink to start ... it bled through too many pages and didn't really splatter enough. I switched to acrylic paint and had some fun. I think the paint looks like a crazy colorful crab of some sort.
I added the doodles later ~ just because.

Wonderful Weekend
We have been having terrific weather in Atlanta this week. Hooray!
I was at the park yesterday feeding the ducks, when a flock of blackbirds swooped in for a quick bite. I love the iridescent blue color of the feathers on their heads.
This page was drawn & colored with Indian ink pens and colored pencils. I plan to fill the lake area with writing ... probably one of my corny poems.
