I'm back from Alaska and ready to create again

I 've almost finished my journal that I did for my Stencilry class.

I added some scrapbook paper and hand painted papers to make 3 signatures and sew them to my cover.

I spaced the signatures too far apart and ended up adding to more signatures of scrapbook paper and music sheets to fill the book up. I plan to add beaded to the threads. And art journal on the inside. I'm thinking of documenting my art experiments.

This all came about due to Mary Ann Moss's online Stencilry classes. http://dispatchfromla.typepad.com/. Again Mary Ann is a fabulously talented artist and teacher.

Spray painting and Stenciling

This is the cover. I love Mary Ann's technique of dribbling paint from a squeeze bottle to make marks. I just love this lime color.

I've been quiet I know. Here are some of my pages for my new Stencil book. I'm taking another online class from Mary Ann Moss. This class involves spray painting, stenciling and stitching. I'm still working on the spray painting and stenciling - particularly the colors of paint. There's a learning curve. I'm not happy with my colors but I think that after adding stamps and collage elements, I'm be much happier. But that will all have to wait until I'm back from my Alaska land and sea cruise. I leave tomorrow. I'm taking a journal which I hopefully will fill with collage and words.
