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.

Spices
The background of this spread was done with FolkArt's "Fawn" and "Buttercup" paints. The dragonflies are punched out of a scrap of navy cardstock that had been brushed with Duo Red-Blue Pearl Ex. The word "Spices" was written with a Pentel metallic copper brush pen. The red writing was done with the small end of a RoseArt ColorSharp marker. These are some of the best tools I know of for writing on top of acrylic-painted backgrounds. They never skip, and dry instantly, so you don't have to worry about smearing. The fact that they have dual tips is a nice plus, too! They are available in metallics, as well as matte colors.
