Pages

 This above page was made in August.. the end of summer.  

This page was inspired by Daisy Yellow's overlapping collage style. These were all items, including the picture of the woman, that I found in the hallway on the floor at the school I teach at.  The picture of the woman was from a napkin.

Trying to salvage a good page gone bad


How do YOU salvage a page when it is not going in the direction you'd like?  Do you just toss it?  Do you make the most of it and then move on?  I started with a watercolor doodle:

And then, I added some black ink, white scribble paint and then it just got out of control.  I ended up covering up large parts of it with other papers and magazine pictures.  Oh well!  Sometimes you just keep going with your pages and see where they take you.

I've been doing a really fun project with my students at school:  STRING BALLS.  (that's my other blog about teaching art).  You make them by blowing up a balloon and covering the balloon with yarn dipped in glue.  Here are some of the pics from that project:



Stack

Here is a stack of my art journals, sketchpads and watercolor blocks that were in my work area now.
