Sometimes when I see other people's art journals I wonder if they are always are so pretty - because mine aren't. But then, I only show the stuff I really like, not the experiments. So here is an experiment I created with layers of stuff. I was inspired by some of Bridgette's journals and I wondered what would happen if I just kept piling on layers. I'm not sure the outcome is the prettiest or that good, but I do find it interesting.
I also want to apologize to some of the artists on my blog roll that seemed to have dropped off. I wasn't aware that Typepad was only showing 10, so everytime I added one, someone was getting bumped off the bottom. These details get lost when one has a baby. But I finally fixed it!
Goodbye Summer, how little we knew ye (this year).
Usually I look forward to Autumn. October has both our wedding anniversary and my birthday. And then there is Thanksgiving and Christmas to look forward to. I love the crispness of the air, the pretty colored leaves . . .
But this year I am really going to miss summer. We didn't really see summer until the first of July. Usually June is a mixed bag, with some rain and some sun. Mostly this year it was rain, after a long hard winter it seemed like summer was a long time coming.
Kavya is just beginning to walk, taking her first few tentative steps. In a few weeks, I think, she will be walking. And then it will be mostly raining. I'd love for her to be tottering around in soft grass and there is another reason I will miss summer.
This is the last page in my art journal - tho I'm not done with that journal yet because I skip around and do pages in sections as I feel like it. Seems fitting for this goodbye to summer entry tho!
