What pen is it?

There is a handmade junk journal in the front of the image with a Culver's bag pocket in-between the pages. On the right page is text and a black and white image of birds. On top the journal is a watercolor of a small abstract bird painted on a torn book page. Around the journal are bags of collage fodder and more birds painted on book pages.

Had fun at Junk Journal club last night. Of course these are the only pictures I remembered to take.

Trying out different focal points and fabrics for this journal.

Image shows 3 tags. On the left is one with a butterfly and says create magic. In the middle is one with a heart and a duck and says keep going. On the right is another butterfly and the words spread kindness.

I can't figure out how to add alt text after the fact for the images. If anyone knows how let me know?

My progress is being impeded....

Images from a gardening magazine are cut up and laid on top the magazine with a pair of scissors nearby. The images are plants one which has red googly type eyes on its pot and one with succulents in what looks like an old typewriter for a pot.

Making collage fodder and cutting out things from magazines today.

Journal made out of a paper bag. On the left it says it's an aldi thing.

Journal made out of an aldi paper bag and kids foam. On the left it says aldi.us and aldi twice as nice guarantee in a blue circle. Underneath the circle says item replaced money refunded. On the right it says buh-bye plastic. Aldi is leading the way in sustainability. We are the first major US retailer to ditch plastic bags from all of our stores.

Journal cover standing up. Made out of a brown aldi bag. On the cover it says it's an aldi thing.

This one lined up so perfectly I almost don't want to paint it.

Mass making journal covers today.

A bunch of paper in a pile on a blanket. On the right is a stack of signatures to use in journals.

An image of a handmade sketchbook. Lyrics of James Taylor's She'd a Little Light are written in the background with a dip pen. On the right is an image of a lighthouse on a hill. The lighthouse is lit and the impression of a sunset and waves surround it.

An image of a handmade sketchbook. Lyrics of James Taylor's She'd a Little Light are written in the background with a dip pen. On the right is an image of a lighthouse. The image is monotone with just a turquoise ink. The writing is choppy and not neat and there are ink splatters throughout the two page spread.

I didn't end up having to go in to work today so celebrating Martin Kuther King Jr day by playing with my new dip pen and inks. Lyrics of James Taylor's She'd a Little Light in the background.

Went to a junk journal club meet-up yesterday and had a lot of fun working on my next journal cover. It's made with a paper bag and kids craft foam and old packaging for the spine.

Watercolor painting spread across two pages in a handmade sketchbook. The right side is white Watercolor paper the left side is canson mi teintes tan paper. In the center is a styalized tree with open circles making up the top portion. On the right is either a city with a factory with a stylized wave in the shape of a spiral in front or it's a chaos snail. It's still up for debate. In the left is a line leading up to the tree and spirals and circles and random mark making. In no way is it finished. It's just beginning.

It's in the awkward middle stage but I don't hate it.

Pink abstract roses popping out of a brick wall.

A bunch of colorful marks on paper in lines. Used as the base of the brick wall in the finished painting.

Pink abstract roses popping out of a brick wall. Early stage of painting so the roses are mostly blobs and the wall is slightly blurry.

I turned an old watercolor piece that was just color swatches into roses popping out of a brick wall. Really happy with how this turned out. Acrylics with posca and neocolor 2 for details on the roses.

Welcome! So glad you're here!

The image depicts two sketches of parasol mushrooms. The smaller one on the left takes up about one fourth the page and is very well defined. The larger one on the right is more sketchy and not finished. It takes up a little over half the page. Underneath the mushroom cap there is a circle and there is a door at the bottom of the stalk.

Starting to sketch out my next mushroom house. Can you guess what the inspiration is?
