And in an awesome, completely last minute burst of spontaneity, I'm headed to Mississippi on Sunday to <a href="http://www.art-is-you.com/" target="_blank">Art-Is-You</a> Dixie art retreat. I can't wait to see everyone, and to get in THREE WHOLE DAYS of art and fun!

I got up this morning exhausted from being woken up repeatedly by large crashes of thunder that sounded like they were right on top of our roof. The worst one was around 3:30 this morning, I think. Not the best way to wake up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I woke up tired, so to wake up a little, I headed into the art closet. The journal was still open to this page, so contrary to what I thought yesterday, I decided to try to rescue it.... mainly because of Ruth. Ruth is the woman in the photo. She's a relative of my Dad's, and my Mom helped take care of her and her daughter. When Ruth passed away, my Mom gave me a lot of her old travel ephemera, greeting cards, and some duplicates of photos which now occasionally show up in my artwork. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At any rate, when I looked at Ruth this morning, she told me to power through and make her proud. So I'm working on it. It also helped that when I'm tired and pre-caffeine in the morning, I have the patience for painting a little more, well... patiently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still have more rework to do, but it's getting closer to where I want it to be.</div>

I really only like to work on a journal page a couple of times. When it starts to get too fussy or too detailed, it no longer meets the purpose (for me) of journaling. This one has gotten about four turns. Way more than the allowance. I pretty much know what needs to be done to "fix" it, but because that doesn't sound fun, I'm moving on. Maybe I'll come back to this train wreck someday. There are some good parts here and there. Orrrrrrrrrrr.. maybe not. P.S. The words are from the Wake Me Up song by Avicii. I'll have to add that somewhere along the way.</div>

Today I decided I needed an art break to do some journaling.<br />
<br />
So I started with my usual journal. I don't know if I've ever shown what these pages start like, but my journal is a Victoria's Secret limited edition set of 3 books that I found at Goodwill a few years ago for $10. The pages start out something like the one below, so I immediately throw down some gesso (primer) or paint to cover up the half nekkid ladies.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used an old credit card to take some off and flatten the gesso out.<br />

Then I painted with some inks and messed a tiny bit with Pan Pastels. At this point, I had no idea what I was doing and left it.<br />

When I came back, I decided to dig in the paper pile and chose whatever colors made me happy. After digging a bit more, I found the Archiver's ad on the right which had the same colors. Coincidence, I suppose, but I'm attracted to bright colors, so I guess not really.<br />

Look away!Ok, perfectionists, you've been warned to look away. Glue gun stencils... not for people with control issues. <a href="http://yappingcat.blogspot.com/">Cindy Mayfield</a> asked how the bird she spied in my journal in the last post was created. I think I saw glue gun "stencils" first from <a href="http://treicdesigns.com/">Traci Bautista</a>. Easy enough to make, but I believe she sells the ones she makes on her website too if you'd rather do that.<br />
<br />
Anyway... I was in a circle making mood this morning. Hopefully you have a better glue gun than the sad little one I have. I did these on parchment paper. You could probably do them right on a cookie sheet. Don't be mad if I'm wrong about that and you're scraping glue off of whatever you put it on. :)<br />
<br />
Make shapes. Let cool. Peel off. Use.<br />

Voila! I'm too impatient to wait for any kind of drying to happen. I now have pink and orange fingers. YAY!<br />

I was working on the cover of my latest journal. The journal decided that it would have "A Journey" on the front. I didn't decide that, the journal did. Usually I manage to leave enough space for my lettering, but I guess I'm out of practice. I *could* have just painted over my mistake, but immediately an idea came to mind that just could not be put away. The journal decided that it needed a tab to open. I don't know why. Suddenly it just did.<br />

So I cut a tab using the two circles of some kind of pressed board ornament thing from Michaels. And of course I couldn't be bothered to use one of the several saws we own. I used a steak knife. I probably wouldn't recommend that if you have other options, but it worked fine.<br />

Now it's glued, clamped, and drying. I'll be gluing the larger (back) part to the inside front cover of the journal. We'll see how it turns out soon!<br />

<br />
SO, here's what's been going on around here (besides the usual work, work, work stuff):<br />
<br />
I carved out a studio space in the basement (again). Harper was taking over my art space in the dining room on a regular basis, so I flew the white flag of surrender and gave her the whole room. Now I just have to figure out how to keep her upstairs with Daddy for longer than ten minutes so I can make something. And maybe someday I'll take photos of the rest of the room.<br />

Only about 50 million other things happened too. I just didn't take pictures of me sitting at a desk coding all day. OHHHHH... one super cool thing happened a few weeks back! I found out that one or more of my journal pages will be in Dawn DeVries Sokol's book! Super excited!! Dawn's book <em><strong>1000 Artist Journal Pages</strong></em> really is one of the major reasons I got started journaling, so I'm so thrilled. (We'll have to wait until sometime in 2015 for the book to be published though. Gives me an opportunity to practice patience.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142916183901016664.post-12672297222536828242013-08-30T05:22:00.002-07:002013-08-30T05:22:17.384-07:00Oh, You Poor Little Blog!Poor Little Blog gets neglected while facebook and instagram (and work, work, work) get all the attention.

<br />
My recent art stuff (which is minimal unfortunately) seems to only make it onto instagram because I've barely picked up my real camera lately. Here's are a few shots that managed to make it though!<br />
<br />
We managed to keep our tradition of chasing hot air balloons. We have a great festival, and for one weekend there are hot air balloons all over town in the mornings and evenings.<br />

I got a wee bit annoyed with my husband though because our tradition is to jump out of bed and chase in our pajamas. Ummm... he is showered and fully dressed. We are not. (insert eye roll here)<br />

Part 4So the vacation was nice. Got it. Scenic. Got it. Lots of family quality time. GOT IT. But I feel like my life cannot move on unless I finish this one last blog post about the vacation.<br />
<br />
Our last big stop of the vacation before returning to Olympia was Yellowstone National Park.<br />

So here's a (sort of) funny story. After spending the night at the RV park, we got up extra early and headed out to look for wildlife and to see more of the park. Doug looks to his left and says, "Hey, what are those birds?" "Pelicans", I say (not terribly excited... it IS about 6 AM). Doug says, "Give me the camera. We have to have a picture." "Ok." I say (again, not so thrilled).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So the pelicans start to fly off, Doug is taking pictures, and I look over at the riverbank. "<strong>BEAR!</strong>" I yell. We proceed to get all excited and snap a bunch of photos of a bear running up the riverbank. We're knuckle bumping, laughing, saying, "A Bear! We saw a BEAR!" We keep driving across the bridge.<br />

Then TWO bears (somehow I only got one in a shot at a time) are booking it across the road in front of us. Seriously speedy. Pretty sure they were running so fast because I kept yelling, "BEAR!" And all thanks to my husband's excitement over two pelicans.<br />

The next morning, Doug found this Alpine Slide thing at the Snow King Resort. Harper and Doug decided to give it a try. Ok, you'll have to indulge me a bit... there are more photos of this part of the trip than really necessary, but do you see the GLEE on that girl's face? Oh my goodness, she loved the slide. They went way, way, way up on the hill on a ski lift and then rode (practically flew) down on a wheeled sled.</div>

There aren't any photos of the rest of that day because I was doing laundry for what seemed like hours. I'll be honest, I didn't mind the break. Jackson was busy!<br />
To continue the adventures, we woke up early and hopped on a Snake River raft float ride. Our tour guide Scott was awesome.<br />

Doug in front of an Idaho corn field. I don't really remember why we stopped here... I think we heard a funny noise in the RV, so I decided to take a photo of the corn fields for a farmer (my Dad) in Kansas.<br />

<span style="color: orange;">The Plan</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was hailed as "the trip of a lifetime" (by my husband). I would probably label it an "epic" trip instead. Harper mapped out our trip for us. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started by flying out to Washington (here's our little safety girl with lots of questions about emergency exits, life rafts and infant vests).</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Olympia, WA</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent a few days catching up with friends and visiting our old stomping grounds in Olympia. Olympia is Washington's capitol and truly a scenic place with water, mountains, and lots of green everywhere you look.</div>

Drove by our old house to show R2-D2. (There was a plan to have R2 visit all of the sites on the trip, but as it turns out, it's hard to keep track of a three inch tall toy. He spent most of the trip hanging out in my purse.)</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Portland, OR</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we picked up a RV that we rented and started the BIG journey. A little jaunt south towards Portland where we had lunch with the fabulous (and fabulously talented) <a href="http://www.close2myart.com/blog/" target="_blank">Michelle Allen</a> and her daughter Alexis. Had a great time and great food, but I should have taken more photos! Thankfully Michelle at least snapped this one of us.</div>

<span style="color: orange;">Crater Lake, OR</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Onward we continued to Crater Lake, Oregon. Ummm... there are no photos of Crater Lake, Oregon. That's because it was raining and foggy. We bailed on the two nights planned at Crater Lake and moved on. After a long drive across central Oregon, we made it to...</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">Breneau Sand Dunes State Park, Idaho</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up was Breneau Dunes in Idaho. Kind of amazing. There are just all of these huge sand dunes in the middle of nowhere. Harper and Doug loved climbing them, and I just loved the quiet. The place was practically empty which I thought was awesome.</div>

I got my journal pages submitted to Dawn Devries Sokol's <a href="http://dawndsokol.squarespace.com/blog/2013/5/27/taking-pages-for-next-book.html" target="_blank">call for pages</a>.

And the journaling continues. These aren't finished either, but that's normally how I work. Lots of unfinished pages that get finished as I add more detail/layers, until TA DA! A finished journal (someday).</div>

I got looking at my journal pages and how much (ehem, how little) I've journaled since then. Not much. Mostly random doodles which I love, but those are just time fillers for me, not really journaling. And that made me sad. How to fix that sad feeling? JOURNALING!!!! (Of course!)<br />

It's a pretty long ways from finished, but I thought you might want to see how it's going.<br />

And I've been having Harper choose her outfits lately. As you can tell, she's pretty happy about the idea for now.</div>
