Daily Journal

I've been very busy recently doing work, work, that is I've been working from home doing my graphics job. It's lovely to be able to keep my 'hand' in and work from home, but I haven't had a lot of time to do art. I decided to start another journal that I can spend half an hour, each day, to paint, do collage, whatever. Most of the pages are collaged from scraps of paper on my desk, background papers that I test my hand made stamps on, anything's fair game.

this one's painted and stamped using my hand carved stamps

tissue paper that I had between my pages has been stamped etc.

more collaging, painting, stamping, the circles are made using a roller stamp I created from a toilet roll middle, with cut out foam shapes glued to it, this is then slipped over a standard painter's foam roller. I then painted the seed pods and added the text

these were scraps of commercial papers torn into rectangles then stamped over, again using my carved stamps

I'm really enjoying the spontaneity of this book, there's no pressure or deadlines.

Thanks again for visiting and your lovely comments, they really do mean a lot.
