The mini-journal was an assignment in Joanne Sharpe's ColorLove 101 class. I don't remember
making a small art journal before and this was so fun. Background made with craft spray and stenciled, then gessoed. Size of the journal doesn't matter, just needs to be about 7 times longer than it is high. I used a Strathmore muti-media paper. Fold the strip in half and then in half again and fold like an accordian. You could make this into a story about a specific event, a travel journal, a letter or greeting card. I made it into a quote book. I started making quote books with illustrations in high school. I gave my first completed one to my sister. She loaned it to a friend who was tragically killed and the book was lost. I've continued to illustrate quotes that speak to me, in my journals.
For this one I found quotes by artists and others who talked about flowers. I don't know what it is but love putting words and pictures together and get as much pleasure, later, from reading the quotes and seeing the pictures again. The beauty that these words and pictures reflect lift my heart.
