notes..... {vintage image}

as i was writing my intimate thoughts and notes, she was offering her own commentary.

and not a seriously good one..... you may know the one i am talking about.... 

as i am writing thoughts and focusing in on a word for next year- 

she is giggling in my ear and telling me that words is silly and has no place in art.

and so.... i am still contemplating my word for 2018. 

will share soon though.

here is to 2018 and the start of another year and all that that fresh start brings.

happy new year!

i had gotten some new supplies recently and wanted to take them down to my studio. my plan was simply to put away, but, as soon as i stepped in the space.... i was drawn to my working area and grabbed my art journal to try out some of my new supplies.

the products i had gotten were the Tim Holtz's distressed spray inks; the blue above is the mermaid lagoon that is running down this right side of the page. i did use an acrylic paint up in the very corner but the part that is running the page is the spray ink. 

the other inks i had purchased were the abandoned coral and cracked pistachio. the coral is a small circle of orange on the bottom of the left page. below is my entire page. the spray inks i purchased can be bought at Blue Twig Studio. Deb will be happy to help you!!

happy wednesday!
