Where I Want to Go in 2013

I love the photo of my Grandma's wedding.  She passed away at a very young age so I only know her through pictures and a few stories from my mom.  I included this photo on the page to represent family.  Other places besides spending more time with family are written in a list on my journal page.

Life is RED

I chose red as my Life is color.  The techniques used on this page were stamping, stenciling, and doodling.  I used spray ink, poster pens, markers and a black pen.
Red is the color of wine, flowers and rubies.

M is for MAP

 
For this page I used a map for the background.  I started out with a plan to try a technique by Julie
Fei-Fan Balzer.   This was a lesson I downloaded from Interweave on "paint over collage".  I didn't read the instructions completely, so this looks nothing like it's supposed to.  I sketched the bird from a bird book and then painted it with acrylics.

On the Dotted LIne

I used dotted tape for my dotted line.  The bird houses on the line are sitting on a wall in our back yard.  I had printed this photo out a few months ago and when I was going through my stash for this topic and I knew I had to use it.  I love birds and bird houses.
