These are a few Tip In Journal Pages I have done over the past few months, I kept forgetting to upload them here. These were for a Yahoo Group I am in and the person picks a theme, colors, size etc that they would like to see in their tip in journal.

Over at Freubel's Digital blog she has a wonderful piece done with a PSDtuts. I had to give it a try as my Granddaughter's bithday is coming up on Saturday. After seeing her piece I thought I must try this. Thank you Rian for all of your inspiration with digital. The images are from the PSDtuts site, the frog from stockxchange. Even included a picture of my little granddaughter being held by the frog prince.

I also used a background from Hermine which was her Spin and Splash for this challenge.

Monthly Swap with Barbara

2008-10-17T15:27:00.001-07:00

Barbara and I met for lunch to exchange our Artwork for the month. We had a wonderful lunch chatting for a couple of hours. Our exchange challenge this month was put forth by Barbara and she chose Collage. She really knows how to put a wonderful collage together as you can see by the ATC below. She has given me some real insight into the world of collage and something to aspire to. Mine below her's was done with an image that came in the mail of a Scorpian Lady and thought it would be fun to use as in Arizona we have a good deal of Scorpians. It was a really fun challenge and a good time with a special friend.

I did a dimensional bird of metal wings, chip board, bottle cap and metal wire for the legs. I named her Hermine, isn't she a cutie?

The contents will be quotes for Art and Wing things for each month of the year. I used gesso, put on really heavy and then cut through it to make designs and let dry. Then after a day or two of drying added paint and inks. Gives lots of dimension to the surface.

A day late but you know what they say "Better Late....... Anyway I used a background I had already done just kept adding and adding until I got something to work with.
