Art Journal 2019....
 lots of pages to add

Pencil/ black ink doodles/Tangles ... 

Collage with scraps.. and doodles around the border. 

The vase/ fish shape kept my attention.  

These pages are  the basis for my 2020 journal - using  6"x 6"black paper for all pages, probably Bristol, framing whatever work goes on top.  Sometimes I'll work with the black background. 

Five punched hole and binder rings to hold them together. 

October is flying by - the winds of the Nor'easter on Oct. 7 helped...
ART JOURNAL 2019

page 73
I covered the oak leaf with some tangling designs, changing color.

Page 75 has a smaller page (photo on right ) over it where I used some of the Art Guide 2019 cover photo and a picture of folk art by Achilles Gilbert ; it flips up for more tangles. The green and blue is paper from the Dyan Reavely collection. I wrote ablation and coughing  over it for texture. The stamp in purple on white is one of my rubber eraser collection with white from a Bic white out pen. 

 I went to a local quilt show with a longtime friend, so used my sewing machine for  texture on page 77 and made a mini book of kraft paper with a machine stitched binding. It  also has tangles on the cover and some of the pages.

So many missed days...
now October and 33 degrees two mornings ago, but 58 this morning...ahhhh, New England

some missed days:

September 20 is a pocket from a Scholastic magazine with three tags,
 
September 24 some scraps, and odds and ends of papers and doodling. 



Page 62 is an oak leaf free drawn, and colored with pencils that have several colors in one. It has a mini pocket which opens out, when folded in it covers part of page 61.

Page 65 has a fold out also and a maple leaf stamped then doodled around in an echo style. The odd shaped space toward the middle is cut on three edges as a tab to hold the added section in place.

 page 67 is totally different, and is based on the exhibit at the Lamont Gallery in Exeter, "American Mortality" which speaks to patriotism, and war.
