Here's the "finished" spread from the pages shown in yesterday's post. I put the word finished in quotes because, while it may not really be finished, I'm moving on from it. I wanted to show you how the page evolved. I used some really great images cut from the latest issue of the magazine Hi Fructose. It's a super cool (often way too cool for me), edgy, art magazine. I cut up the magazine so much that now I can't find the artist's names that created the pictures I used here (the doll on the right, graphic artwork at the top and bottom, little girl, titles on left side page), but if you recognize their work, please let me know.
And here is the second page spread, more images and quote from Hi Fructose, scrapbook paper and vintage wallpaper.
Artist Lesley Riley is asking for your help with her new project that has yet to be unveiled. Visit her blog here to answer a short survey and by doing so be entered to win lots of prizes. Even if you wish to be anonymous, the survey can be beneficial to you and get you thinking about your art and what you hope for this year.
And artist Rebecca Sower has lovingly created a way where you can continue efforts to make a brighter future in Haiti. Stop by to hear all about it and to consider supporting this great cause, whether by donating items or purchasing items. Haiti by Hand. Spread the word.
Thanks for sharing your always beautiful work
and the heads up about Hi Fructose, Lesley Riley, and Rebecca Sower, Haiti by Hand is quite wonderful and I think Rebecca has started a real movement with it.

I think The artist in Hi-Fructose is Mark Ryden.

Always enjoy seeing your work. Are you using acrylic paint to color the backgrounds or is that marker?

This post and the previous one makes me itching to go make a journal with water color pages again and fill it, not only with paint and collage, but with words, writing and doodles. I love your style Pam, and your remnants journal is gorgeous too!

Hi Pam,
I'e got the visual journalling bug too -I can't stop - the family thinks I'm crazy - but I am so glad I found a way to keep my hands busy AT ALL TIME since there is little mess and stuff involved. I've been seeing your pages on flickr and love them - love the colors and the flowers and the movement - I just sent some of mine to Somerset for publication - keep your fingers crossed for me ; )
