Just glued a couple of pictures I printed on to the cover of this journal. The sunflower is my state flower, and yellow is my good friend’s favorite color. This book was made for her birthday with memories of our times together inside of it.

Today’s art consists of 2 book pages I removed from my altered book. I made simple designs on each of them, one with white paint marker and one with black. Then, I simply colored them in with mostly light colors so the words would still be visible underneath. I am pleased with how they turned out. I will use these in future projects. I may glue them to a page or cut them or tear them and use them for collage.

Today, I completed an altered book I started at the beginning of April. This is the first, but definitely not the last, altered book I’ve made. This page spread is a striped heart I colored with acrylic markers. I glued it to the page with an UHU glue stick. Then, I colored the rest of the page in with blue acrylic marker. I am still working on the cover, which I hope to finish tomorrow. A friend got me started on this journey, and I am very grateful she did.

For this one, I painted my pages with broze acrylic paint. I used decorative scissors to cut out the trim from a piece of cardboard that came wrapped around something. I glued those pieces to the top and bottom of each page. Then, I added a sticker to the middle of each page.
I coated these pages with gesso before starting on them. I used my finger and acrylic paint to put paint dots on the left-hand side of this page spread. I cut out a blue water picture from a brochure I picked up while traveling. I glued that down. Then, I added some ‘lace’ stickers on top of it.
Both are very simple pages, but they were satisfying to work on.

Today, I painted the pages of the book with blue acrylic paint. But I left some words showing. Then, I highlighted the words I wanted to focus on and used a red paint marker to block out the other words. I glued in a couple of white circles and the word LOVE. Very simple page.

Today, I made a page in the book I am repurposing. I used a paper towel that I had been using to clean my brushes on. I used Grandmother Stover’s Stikflat glue and applied it directly to the page of the book that I had previously prepared with a coat of off-white paint. I did NOT apply glue to the paper towel. It was delicate and most likely would have torn. Then I cut up an envelope from some junk mail and made sure I had 3 sides glued down. I colored it with a cerulean blue marker, glued the octopus picture and the word on it, and then applied glue to the back of it and stuck it onto the page. This only took about 20 minutes to complete, so even if you don’t have a lot of time there is still time for creating.

The left side was created with some found gold fringe and the inside of an junk mail envelope colored in with markers. The right side was created with watercolors, acrylic paint dots, and a sticker. 
The left side was created with letters cut from various sources and a hair foil decorated with coffee from my hair stylist. The right side was freehand drawing colored in with watercolors. 
The left side is a tracing of a leaf from a hydrangea along with doodle lines with paint markers. The right side is a sticker from my daughter, along with more paint marker doodles. 
The background on these pages is a yellow napkin. I added some pink paper at the top, then some rick rack and round stickers. 
The left side is a pocket made out of construction paper and specialty paper on top. The flowers are stickers. The right page I used paint markers to black out most of the words on a page.
