Today I wanted to combine some of the painting styles I use in my much loved Chopped Journal and this small piece of collage, so Cherry Blossom Altered Book Journal called to me. I wasn’t sure I would enjoy the size limitations of this smaller book…but, Oh! Yes… A process video will be coming to my You Tube channel very soon. Please enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/c/carolmartineart Carol

Today I had to try out using baby wipe to remove WC pigment (thanks #CeeCeeCreations) through a stencil. And, using multiple shades of the same color as a background. Still have lots to learn. Coming tutorial on my You Tube channel. Please enjoy.

A new journal taking wing in 2018… the Joy of ART. These photos are the three main steps along the road. I have no experience with alcohol inks on Yupo paper…so this is really in the category of a happy accident. Needless to say I’ll be getting back to both, because of the vibrant colors..and, the inability to predict your outcome… Tutorial on my You Tube channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/carolmartineart Carol

Here are some close-up pictures of the three journals for 2018 and the round two in my Chopped Journal. The planner journal is new to me, and am finding out why so many enjoy making and keeping them. Smiles.

Using this book published in 2005 as the basis for my new Altered Book Journal…Cherry Blossom. The book is totally in Japanese script, a wonderful basis for my pages. Hope you enjoy.
