Sometimes courage is that little voice that at the end of the day says...I'll try again tomorrow. It takes courage to start doing ART JOURNALING-overcoming the negative voices that try to stop you. With my friend and art teacher Caryn's help, I started Zentangle designs now for a new challenge-art journaling.
This is a torn tissue paper collage with poster paint underneath
smeared on with an old credit card. Below is stenciling.
Hopefully my work will improve with time and practice. I haven't done much with art other than book covers and a few flyers on my computer, so it's been a challenge to try painting, inking designs, etc. I can be creative with words, but art medium is a reach for me.
I'm enjoying Art Journaling. Above is my first print collage
made from the latest ads in a JCPenney catalog that came.
Trying to add some wise saying or quotes for interest.

On the right is a 3-D collage with some old silk flowers
and a little zentangle added designing.
Also found an art bag on wheels with a handle for my supplies,
used a half price coupon so it was reasonable. HURRAH!
It fun to paint, stamp, glue and ink designs-messy, creative and relaxing.
What neat art projects....I just love your courage to try all manner of new experiences, Lin!
