Artifacts Journal













This is the inside cover to my artifacts journal. More detailed information about the journal is beneath the flap. I used golden acrylics and some pearlescent powder for the background, stamped and embossed the script with Jim Holtz distress powder. I used Lazertran (for the first time) to creat the butterfly person image. I then added the panel on the right with the name of the journal.
This is for a Paper Trader art journal, but instead of a round robin, participants will submit "tip-ins" and the journal maker will add them to her own journal. I'll post more as I make the book.
The second photo is another image I made using lazertron again. This time I coated mat board with stucco and distressed it with paint and inks to give it an old world look, then added the image.

Santa's Workshop


I've been busy making Christmas gifts. Here is one of the paperweights I made for a sister. I made 6, all different. They scan funny because of their shape and the glare from the glass, but you get the idea.

Bird Woman

This 11 x 9 collage is a contribution to another calendar project for 2007. This time I get to keep the original and send in the digital copy.
