Video of Sketchbook





Hello all! I hope you are doing well. I had forgotten about this sketchbook I had finished. What I did was create various paintings and collages on papers and in different sketch pads. Then, I cut out all the ones I liked and had them bound together at a local UPS store. Enjoy! Florence and the Machine is my new favorite band. I did hear of them first on that commercial, which you will probably recognize when you listen to this song on the video! Their other songs are awesome too. I'm linking this to Paint Party Friday because there are a lot of paintings in here.  Also, It's a Hodge Podge Life and Art Journaling Every Day.

 You can see many of these pages in my flickr photostream!

fun to see a finished art journal, would love to have more time to see the pages still as well. Nice video.

First, go you! for choosing pages to bind, instead of fretting about random pages. Second, I think you know by now that I LOVE your work, of which this sketchbook is an awesome sample. So many different styles and techniques, and yet, somehow, all recognizable as yours!! Wonderful!

Thanks Trece and Lynn! I appreciate your coments. Lynn, pretty much all of the pages have been posted at some time or another on my blog. If you would like to see them in photos, they are all also in my flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22479693@N02/sets/72157627271452855/

I'm pretty new to your blog and I'm really enjoying it. I love the idea of picking the pages you want to put in a journal. I freeze when I think of starting because I'm afraid I won't like what I come up with. This put a new spin on things for me. Thanks!

Loved watching the video. You are very creative and I love how colorful your art journal is. I started a couple of different journals but haven't finished them yet. They are on my blog a few posts back. I am a new follower!
