Art Journal Every Day: Started & Finished

ArtJournalEveryDayLogo-150If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here.  All of the previous posts can be found archived here.  There is a flickr group for sharing right here.  Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day!  No need to finish anything or even like it.  If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post.  Thanks!

In December I shared a post called "How I Start."  In that post I shared 4 spreads that were just lightly arted with no journaling.  Today I want to share the finished pages with you!  For reference, I'm also including the photo of how they started.  I hope it helps you to "see" the process a bit better.  Enjoy!

To finish my page I simply added some fancy lettering and some journaling.

I added a scratchy outline to each of the circles and then lots and lots of journaling!

I think this pages is probably the most transformed.  I added a wash of color to everything, some fancy lettering, journaling, and some stamping.

As you can see, my pages may look like they took a lot of time an energy, but they're actually very quick little things.  I just keep hacking away at them 10 minutes a day until they're finished!

Here is this week's linky list:

Thanks for stopping by!
