Angels, Art journals, and a Prompt! Oh, my...

First are a couple pics of one of my art journals. I made and bound the journal. It is made from two 8 x 10" canvasboards. It is made with several signatures of different types of paper to give different experiences as I work through the journal. I actually keep a couple different types of journals at the same time. This one is a sort of diary and I also sometimes address "issues" in my life here. A different one is where I try different fun and/or new art techniques. That one also has kind of "running lists" in it like right now I'm working on a list of "150 Things I Love".
The first pic is the cover of my journal and the second is my very first page. As you can see some paint or ink that I used elsewhere in the book made a big green blob. Things like that don't bother me at all, as they are just part of the process.

The angel statue images are done with gel medium transfers. First, though, I want to credit the photographer for the simply wonderful images!! Heather Cockrell took these photos and some others that you'll see and they are just beautiful. I did gel medium transfers with photocopies of the images and then did the 4 x 4" collages. They've lastly been embellished with a thin touch of beeswax and buffed.

This week's prompt is to think of a happy memory from childhood and write about it OR make art about it OR make art from the feeling that the memory evokes in you. The first memory that pops into my head is dancing with my Daddy by standing on his shoes, so that's what I'll use when I do it. BE CREATIVE!!
