Art Journal Pages

It's been a while since I've posted (or worked in...) my art journal.
I guess #13 Art Journal 1 page per week from my 209 Things to do in 209 isn't going so well.
But that's ok. Plenty of room for improvement ; )
This first page was heavily inspired by Pam Garrison's artwork on the cover (and inside) of the premiere issue of Stampington's Art Journaling publication.  Pam has been featuring a ton of her amazing pages from her latest art journal on her blog.  Definitely go and take a peek!
Back to my page.  I used a black Pitt pen, oil pastels, colored pencils and 2 different kinds of paint--turquoise Lumiere metallic acrylic and pernod yellow Setacolor transparent fabric paint.  The paints were fun to work with and the fabric paint was on clearance at Michaels when I got it (bonus!).  My inspiration was really Pam's artwork, and I do love drawing birds.  Other than that, just playing with my art supplies on a rainy Saturday morning.

The second shot is 2 separate pages, scanned together.  Both of these pages were inspired by the words/ideas written on the pages.  From there I just doodled, playing with patterns, colors and supplies.  I used the same supplies for these pages as  the bird page. I like the 'Consume Less, Culitivate More' page a bit better, not so crazy about the purple on the 'Life' page.  But that's ok, it's an art journal and it's just for fun.
I like fun.
Especially where creating is concerned.
