This blog was set up for the spreads that I do in my daily life art journal. It is simply a Mead Composition notebook where most of the pages have been transformed with acrylic paint, rubber stamps, magazine clippings, bits of my calligraphy, and my writing about whatever happened to me that day.

Cool Doodles
The design in the center of the left page is made with a moldable foam stylus tip and the "Cool Doodles" molding mat, while the blue flower is from the Hero Arts "Real High Country Wildflowers" rubberstamp set. I used the technique where you ink up your stamp and then lightly mist it with water before stamping. It causes the colors to bleed and gives a watercolor look to the impression. It works best with dye inks, such as the Adirondacks by Ranger.
The flower on the right page is a bloom taken from an artificial spray. I tacked it down in the center with Aleene's Thick Designer Tacky glue and dotted the center with a pearl.
