Christmas in July is something that most people are familiar with. It is normally either a massive sale, or holiday items, sometimes a massive sale of holiday items."12 Pains of Christmas" is also a Bob Rivers song, parody of "12 Days of Christmas" and one of my favorite BR songs. Fitting title for this post, methinks.The only thing I will say about this entry is it was THE single most painful

This is another 2 pager, but the second page isn't finished. This is the only entry in my art journal that I haven't finished in one sitting. (mainly because good pictures of mirrors are hard to find)My pages take anywhere from a few minutes to a few HOURS to create. It depends on what I'm trying to say, and the ease in which I find what I need.I've been working on this one off an on for about

This is a massive 2-pager. Yes, two entire pages in my journal. They sit side by side for maximum effect.My husband and I are trying to buy the house we are currently renting. The landlord is trying to sell it, and I'm DONE with moving and DONE with shitty landlords.These two pages are an attempt at "self fufilling prophecy". Nothing cryptic, nothing to explain. It is right in front of your

I knew what I wanted to say. I knew how to say it. I said everything I needed to say with this page.To date, it is the most cryptic of my entries and no one has yet figured it out. You get a cookie and 10 cool points if you post the correct answer in the comments on this post.

Word of warning: do NOT leave anything in my house that you don't want me to potentially use for art. This includes "silver colored", shiny tape stuff.I am not sure what the tape was *really* intended for, but before it wound up on a page in my art journal, my warped ex-neighbor used it for wrapping paper at christmas.I am really glad the scan didn't kill my scanner, but the sheer shiny mirror

My idea of art isn't your idea of art, but it is my oasis while I'm adrift in a barren sea of raw emotion and this is the only outlet.

Are you sure this is a happy, positive entry?

Feeble attempt at optimism. There are, however, other tones in this post...my OCD rampaging through. Can you find it?

I was freezing cold the day I made this. I couldn't wait for summer, and now that it's here, I don't want it to leave.

From the volumes of pain and searching for hope.

Without further ado...todays crafty stuff. Or at least some of it.Harvey-ette (sorry about the messy bed and rather unprofessional picture, I was in a hurry and had just rescued a cat from under the porch):Today's art journal page:I used regular acrylic paint, glitter glue, and one of the aforementioned cheap plastic gems. One of my friends just told me it's painful to look at, because of the

I've been busy all day, crafting.I finally got the Harvey-ette sewed, which was no minor feat. The first three times I tried to sew her, she fell apart. MENTAL NOTE: do not use flannel backed satin to sew stuffed animals. The fun fur worked MUCH better.I browsed for a while on iHanna and decided to dig out my old ceramics paints. I used to paint ceramics like a mad woman, but ran out of

Yesterday was rough on me for a few reasons, and after reading the daily newspaper on my breaks, I decided that I couldn't wait to get home and mess in my art journal.I showed it to my husband, and he appreciated it for what it was, without trying to interpret it. I love him for that. He said it was nice to look at, even if it was cluttered.Without explination of any of it, here it is. I did

This is my new art journal. I was inspired by iHanna, a swedish woman about my age, who has a fantastic blog here.She has inspired me in ways I didn't think possible, but yet in ways I wanted. I've always had a love for decoupage, and through reading her blog, I found that it's really ok for me to tear up a newspaper or cut up a magazine. I've been journaling for years upon years. It is
