i was recently commissioned to create an art journal for someone. i was given some ideas of what the person receiving the journal might like. it really enjoyed myself when i made this journal over the last few days. i find preparing the pages to receive the art is the most fun for me. i love to paint with my hands. that's right - no brushes were used in making these backgrounds. it's so freeing to me to smear the gesso and paint around with my fingers. i love how un-technical that is.

It's gorgeous. Whoever will get this album will get a treasure. It's funny, I used the little kid with the white dress standing on the chair this afternoon too on one of my pages. It's a small world.
