journaling in progress

More journal pages in progress. Trying to be better about showing you the different stages, I know I like seeing that in other people's postings about journaling. So above is a background in progress. I am loving that crazy gray/blue flower. Taking Mary Ann Moss' Stencilry class as you might have guessed by the stencil painting above. It's not as easy as it looks; she's a master. I know, just when you thought I had finally stopped talking about her last class non-stop I mention a new one! What can I say? I'm loving her video inspiration. Here's the same page with left flap closed so you'll be able to follow the progress in future posts.

Here's the page you saw in a previous post filled in now.

and another spread:

Same spread close up...oh, that strong black color makes  me so happy.

I LOVE IT! What kind of paper do you start out with?

I like them very much. I don't do much art journaling, but I'm teaching myself calligraphy to add nice journalling to my own art. So maybe one day I'll have my own art journal.

Very nice. It is great to see others' processes, as my pages seem to go from an unrecognizable blob to completely different... the stages of creation are fascinating to me! Thanks!

I am a major beginner and I really enjoy your work. The colors are perfect, and thanks for showing it all so clearly. I've only finished a few pages so far. I have the hardest time letting go of the worry that I'll mess it all up. Do you ever just throw a page away? Just curious. :)
