In the beginning

In the beginning,
I created a visual journal from
a watercolor Moleskine,
watercolored pages
& a few bits of collage.
For those of you that asked how I created the journal pages from Monday's post, this is how they started.
Then I've been adding images via collage and image transfers and randomly distressing, painting, stamping, scraping, sanding, scratching and anything else that feels right. Total labor of love.
Mucho love,
Carmen

You make me want to journal tommorrow! and I can't : ( Darn it! The transfers are fabulous, the tub is my fav. You are on to something really Cool Carmenā„ It's your time.... xo ajae
really beautiful tones of red.
Did you watch "This is it"? I am totally entranced by that movie.. Several times when MJ is speaking to his crew, he tells them, "It's all for love. L. O. V. E." I say that all the time now... Your post reminded me of that.

This is gorgeous, Carmen! Your pages are waaaay cool! I'm in a watercolour Moly myself :-)

I love the distressed finish and the muted tones. I've never done any art journaling, but I'm really inspired by you and Elke ... hm...
