Art journaling weekend wrap-up

Sharing some pages from my journal. I just can't stop painting and pasting and doodling! Thanks Pam and Jennifer and Donna and all my new AFFs (yeah I've made it a thing now) for a dream weekend!

 

A very graphic cover ... a bit outside my comfort zone, but we were encouraged to try new things and not overthink.

 

But vintage wallpaper, however ... *definitely* in my comfort zone.

 

 

Paint and doodling and wallpaper and tape ... love!

 

 

Trying neon with doodles ...

 

 

On the other end of the spectrum ... black ink + blue + a bit of water = a monotone/duotone feel that I'm loving

 

 

I fully embraced the neon and am LOVING it!

Art journaling weekend with Pam Garrison

 

Spent the weekend at an art journaling workshop with Pam Garrison at Donna Downey's studio in North Carolina. Pam is the reason I started art journaling several years ago, so I was beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to learn from her!

 

 

The first day we constructed our journals and painted covers ...

 

 

Ironing the completed cover pages ...

 

 

Watching Pam create backgrounds with ink and paint ...

 

 

Must-have materials if you want your colors to be as vibrant as Pam's!

 

 

Watching how Pam creates collage and incorporates vintage wallpaper ... w*o*w ...

 

A demo with the Gelli Plate...

 

 

Words fail me ... her work is so spectacular ...

 

Pam showed us how she creates her fabulous letters ...

 

 

Pam brought her friend artist Jennifer Mercede to the workshop ... what a bonus!
