Finally I was able to work on
Jessica's Art Journal for the Round Robin, hosted by
Tracy and finish the last spread.
January and the start of february have not been very good for doing any kind of creative and/or crafty stuff. Somewhere in november I started getting pains in my left hand. More specifically my thumb. By mid january I wasn't able to use my hand in a normal way anymore without feeling like someone was driving a knife through my thumb. According to my docter this could only be resolved by surgery and luckily this could be scheduled fairly quickly, at the beginning of february.
I'm glad to say that surgery went well and my thumb is healing nicely and I am able to use it again.
The first thing I did, after I felt I was able to use it again (and the stitches were removed), was to finish some backorders of Traveler's Notebooks and inserts for my shop. I am very grateful for everybody being so very patient with me.
The next thing I did was finish the second spread in Jessica's journal and make photo's of the spread I did before. Honestly, it's much easier making photo's with two hands in stead of one =)... also, I found, typing is a lot easier with my usual "two finger" system. The one finger (one hand) system wasn't really working for me.
Since this post would otherwise be far to long and picture heavy, I will do a seperate post for each of the two spreads.
As you can see both spreads are quite different. The
first one is made with my goto medium, acrylic paints. For the
second one I chose to do something different and I went with aquarel paints.
I've been having a lot of fun working in
Jessica's beautiful journal. I love working in all these different journals and, I think, I am almost over my fear of doing something wrong in someone else's book.
It's like they say, there's no right or wrong in art journalling =)
Thank you for watching and I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
