Gotta Make …

Time to start a new journal! I made this one a while back, so I’d have it ready when I finished the big one. I think It’s going to take just as long to get used to these smaller pages as it did to get used to the big ones last time.

The orange page is really the inside cover. I’ll probably add more to it as I go along, which is what usually happens with the inside covers. I love drawing these little birds with watercolor crayons. I put some in my last journal and I guess you’ll be seeing them in this one, too.

My ice queen is such a party girl that she doesn’t just wear a lampshade on her head, she wears the whole chandelier!

The 2 black and white images are just doodles that I did at night while pretending to watch TV with DH. The one of the hallway isn’t finished, but I rarely go back to these doodles so I’m calling it done anyway. On the other one, I kept turning it round and round as I worked, and now I can’t decide which end is up, LOL.

Note: I don’t know why some people are having trouble pulling up the doodle pics. Try these links, and see if that works:

Doodle 2

I did the last page in my big handmade journal today. It’s the orange one. The other is the inside back cover. The colors scanned kind of dull, compared to how it really looks. I need to get an updated driver for this scanner. Obviously, I have not had the best day today, but I always feel at least a little better after some painting, cutting, and gluing.

Been feeling rather icky lately and have just been knitting instead of gluing and painting. I did finally scan in a few more journal pages, though. There’s only 1 page and the inside cover left in this journal. This one was huge. Time for a smaller one soon.

This week’s Opus Gluei theme is Gimme 5. I had a 3 day migraine this week, so I just did a journal page on 5 things I love. That’s about all I was up for, but it was nice to do SOMETHING after 3 days of absolutely nothing productive.

Look at this super-cool pendant, made by Terri over at Pringle Hill Studio. I won it! She just had a little 100th post celebration on her blog. I left a comment, which is no hardship because she has a very interesting blog, and today I found out that I actually won! I just love it.
