Dear friends,
I started my 4th journal a few days ago. On those long days waiting on my laptop getting fixed, I completed 2 or 3 journal spreads a day. Can't thank my muse enough. Now though, I'm trying really hard to keep up blogging all about them :). I also re-read Pride & Prejudice and a few of the sequels/recent interpretations by Austen's fans. Life's a breeze. I also slept better :). Ok, enough rambling.
I have always used my handmade art journals. It is a lot funner that way. I gave myself a treat (for being such a good girl filling those journals up). I started to use Donna Downey's journal!. She's one of my greatest idol, so filling up this new journal would be such a thrill.

Here is the first page I made;
Background colors were combination of metallic red acrylic paint, green pan pastel and some red glimmer mist over punchinella. Did you see paper doily & newsprint tissue paper in the background?.
I stamped an elaborate flourish pattern with black gesso and glued a gold sticker around the Mona Lisa image. I should have used brown & black colors to make a rather Renaissance-ish page but I like the red better :).

Lastly, I added pieces of torn linen, a canvas butterfly and artsy words to finish the page off.
Stay awhile if you like, I've got another spread to share!. Hugs.
