After we painted our pages we practiced collage layouts. I always have a blast choosing focal images and trying out different compositions. I had such a great time and learned lots and increased my collage/journaling confidence. Thanks Marie!
I took a wonderful collage class last night at the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury with Marie Zaccagnini. Marie is a wonderful and talented teacher who inspires your creativity. We started out with painting techniques using acrylic paints, gel medium and water color crayons. It was fun playing with the colors and those water color crayons are AWESOME. (hmmmm, perhaps some might find their way into my stash for christmas)

Haven't posted in a while. I took a second class at the Scrapbook Cupboard in E Bridgewater a few weekends ago. This class was to learn more techniques working with metal.
So I had some time yesterday to play around. I made two metal panels that I will be using on journal covers.
I had fun and think they came out really good.
On this panel I used an old key I found while digging in the garden a few years ago. I just did random positioning and then used some blue and purple inks to lightly highlight the sanded areas.
This small panel was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I don't have a Cuttlebug machine so I just used a rolling pin and it worked fine.
I will post photos of the completed journals when they are done.

I took a really fun class at Scrapbook Cupboard taught by Kim Parkinson.
I had such a great time. We embosed metal and then used it to assemble a journal. We used 6 techniques to decorate the pages and prepare them for journaling.
It was so awesome to get my hands all paint covered and just be able to create with abandon.

Gene and I made our annual trip to the Marshfield Fair and had a good time. I love seeing all the animals at the fair and watching the people. Thought I would share some of the photos I took.
This cow was too funny, I have no idea why it was doing that with it's tongue. Sorry it's sideways... couldn't get it to post the right way.

lots of pics of my flowers after a night of rain....
I came across an art group recently that provides ideas and techniques to keep one motivated and trying new things in art. It is called Art from the Heart. It has tons of ideas and resources and videos...
The August challenge is Scanner Art... making art on your flatbed scanner. I was very intrigued by this concept. I made a few scans this morning which I have posted below. I think I will be doing more of these...
I call this one "Reluctance".... Wicketts was a reluctant participant.

I love how the blossoms look before they open, all curly.
Lovely dark purple.
I just loved the color of these and the darker pink border on the flowers.
Here are some random pics of my nastursiums. I grow them every year and try to find lots of different colored varieties.
