Art journal pages using a variety of mediums.... Background on both spreads are Gelli Plate Deli Paper and stencils from Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and Christy Tomlinson. On the leftmost spread (with the large heart), I doodled with copics and Blendabilities. Stickers, rub-ons, paint and various are from Christy Tomlinson kit. Left banner is from a Joanne Fink doodle book. She stamp is a classic from Unity.
Tag in the middle of my hand bound set of signature pages is just an office tag. Gessoed, painted, doodled and collaged. Flow is my one little word for 2015, and this word is made from SU! Clay and Alpha mold.
The whole spread, and the clay letters, are glazed over with a gold glaze from my Christy kit.
Far right spread is also a Gelli Print with stencils. A student in one of my classes left it behind as a reject and it spoke to me. I used a stencil from my Christy kit with molding paste for the white stencil pattern to add texture. Face is from a W magazine - i just love these colors. Doodles in Copics and Blendabilities.
These pages took many hours over a month to slowly morph and unfold. I love the warm colors. I'm still working on composition in my journals generally - but I feel that I am finding my journaling voice. I think there might be too much going on visually but I sure had fun making it . As to the colors - Julie FeiFan Balzer said in one of her videos that as long as you stick with all warm or all cool, you can't go wrong. I am slowly trying to do all the mix challenges this year. This monochromatic spread has one of my very favorite color palettes - oranges, pinks, reds, dark reds, a few hints of yellow...
Thanks for looking.

What very cool pages. I love all the doodling and stencils. I can see why this took quite a while to get finished. I checked out each page and love each one.
