New Sketchbook Page
Those of you have visited my blog recently will have seen that I have been experimenting with the style of Dina Wakley after purchasing her fantastic new book 'Art Journal Freedom'
In my last post I blogged about experimenting drawing faces and I was sooooooooo pleased to recieve a lovely comment from DINA hereself. (How AMAZING is that).
As the face was drawn on a scrap piece of paper I decided to cut it out and add it to a background I created in the little handmade book I made recently.
I will also posting this page on Sketchbook Friends Flickr site.
Thank you for visiting x

Hearts & Flowers Journal Page 4
Hi Everyone,
I have started to wonder if there is enough interest in my blog to make it worth carrying on posting . I just don't seem to be getting much response. If my blogger stats are reliable they are not very encouraging.
I know you have to get yourself out there, so to speak, to get yourself noticed. I joined in with 'Tag Tuesday' last year which initially generated a bit of interest and now I have joined 'Sketchbook Freinds' flickr group but that has not generated a noticeable increase up to now. Some blogs choose a topic and invite you to link your blog post to their blog. But being a bit of a' technophobe' I am not sure how to do this.
Maybe it is because my work is not interesting enough. I used to explain the process of how I created my artwork but lately I have wondered if it is worth it. It is difficult to get enthusiastic when you feel like your talking to yourself. ( LOL!)
Well that's enough of feeling sorry for myself, here is my latest journal/sketchbook page.
This page went through many transitions before the finished result so I couldn't begin to explain the process except to say that it includes layers of acrylic paint, homemade stamps, a flower stencil and Lumiere paint, Brusho Spray and collage pieces made up of found papers and pieces of my leftover papers from cleaning off stamps and mopping up excess paint. I love useing leftover papers from cleaning up your paint etc. as the random marks sometimes are more interesting than the marks made on purpose. (LOL!).
You can also see this page over on 'Sketchbook Friends' flickr group page where there are lots of great sketchbook pages to be seen. So pop over there and have a look. On the positive side, over on the flickr group I have had two 'Likes' which is a first for me (Hooray!).
