Right side of black and white spread from the challenge journal. 

Just a hint: when one is using a Sharpie paint marker, one should make sure it's dry before rubbing hand across page.

Stage 2 of the Poppy Pin... I may outline the words with pen, but not sure what else to do. Maybe it's done?

#74 of 365 (March 15)

Beginning of a background in the black and white journal I'm working on. This is using a stencil and water soluble crayons... kinda messy but it was my first try with this technique using the crayons.

#73 of 365 (March 14)

Beginning of a background spread in a themed black and white journal. Ignore the messy blotches, they'll be covered with penwork soon.

Using just these two colors is really a stretch for me! This journal is a challenge by a friend from the local craft store... to make a strictly black and white journal, and then once it's done she is going to show us how to make it colorful.

In process journal for the Strathmore Visual Journaling Workshop 2. This is the pocket page at the back of the journal. I also created page extensions and layered front pages which have not been "decorated". more to come...

#61 of 365 (March 2)

Playing with Oil pastels and walnut ink (spray) for a technique swap on atcsforall.com hosted by my friend and fellow 365-er, Joss. These probably won't be in the swap... but they are closer to what I wanted.
This is the third type of ink I tried, by the way. Experimenting was fun, if a bit frustrating at moments. :)

You can check out how to do the technique here.
