Art Journal  1 ... 4 5 6 7 8 ... 23

Created on holiday, in Egypt. Acrylic paint - oranges and hot pink, for the backgrounds. Then collages of butterfly and old vintage beach babe added. I’ve also added in some colours using watercolour pencils and pastels and smudged these over the layers.

The journaling is written using simple black markers, and tells the tale of the late night chats my husband and I enjoy, normally debating over total crap, and ending in deep giggling spurts with me choking so hard I have to stop talking. But the laughter keeps me sane.

The all-over journaling, and I think the actual title treatment itself must be credited to an art journal entry I saw once of Teesha Moore - I can’t remember where, but I wanted to try the idea out.
