Life book 2013 week 5 and 6 art journal pages

Hello my bogging friends !

I had a busy week but i did catch up with my life book so here i am sharing two art journal pages... the first was taught by Kelly Hoernig it was based on a game board layout for my years journey.  My word for this year is TRY so i made this my game layout .  I sometimes feel i don't try enough and give up easy or convince myself i just can't do it !  so i really want to try lots of new things this year and finish and learn projects and techniques.  I have made myself the caterpillar but i do have my little skates on just the push i need .. and at the end of the year i am hoping to have evolved into a beautiful creative butterfly.

My next page was taught by Tamara Laporte and it was about courage !  I chose an old oak tree as my image for strength and courage.  i love this tree to me this tree represents courage and endurance as well as strength and balance.  I need to find balance in my life and the courage to find the strength i need to take me on my creative journey.  I enjoyed this lesson.. click on the images for a closer view and i would love to hear from you ...

Gelli prints washi tape and week 4 life book

I have had a great couple of days creating, I had my friend over to play on tuesday and we got out our Gelli plates which we have never used !  so i am sharing a few of my prints with you... It was very trial and error with some real disasters which we managed to salvage by the end of the day ! we had so much fun.....

Today i had a try at making home made washi tape i used napkins and tissue paper which i stamped ! i found some double sided tape at the dollar store in three different widths so i thought i would just give it a go seems to have worked !

I also played around with my week 4 life book art journal page scales of light taught by Dion Dior what an interesting class !!    although my hands are not perfect i loved the look i achieved the chinese symbol means light i apologize if it's not very accurate !
