Mom and I have gotten into something called art journaling, which basically is using a blank sketch book and taking rubber stamps, paper, paint, gelatos, (chalky, but kind of a paint) and anything really, to create something cool. We like to watch youtube videos to give us ideas. Since Mom and I prefer things neat and organized, we're often horrified at how some of them will slap a bunch of stuff on the page and really go to town and usually it looks awful, but yet they just keep going and it turns out amazing! Sometimes just the opposite happens, where they have something cool, and then splatter it with paint, or do something that ruins it. Mom was just saying that with my page a true art journalist probably wouldn't stop with this, it would just be the beginning! Personally, I like having things a little more on the simple side.
On Mother's Day Emily gave Mom a paper punch that has a circle, a little flower petal along with a big petal. Mom had it sitting out since she was going to use it for a page she was doing, so I picked it up desperately looking for something that I could make into a bee. It worked! I actually made both the bees and the flowers from that same punch. It turned out pretty cool, didn't it?
(esther) great idea! I like your new back-round too! Hey, Lydia and I discovered this blog called "fresh modesty", it's really cool, check it out!
