Monday I returned LIVE for Mixed Media Monday after a week off for work travel. I had a great time but was excited to return back to my studio and get that paint brush in my hand. It was the last page of my 10 X 7 art journal that we started a couple months pack. I wanted this page to be simple yet special to how I was feeling.......Here is what painted:
MATERIALS LIST: Gesso, Decoupage & Paints (DecoArt - Bright Yellow and Saffron Yellow), PITT Artist Pens, Glaze & Gelatos (Faber Castell Design Memory Craft - Acqua, Boysenberry, Watermelon Rasberry, Margarita Mix, Blood Orange, Banana & Snow Cone), Ink (Tim Hotz and Marvy Uchida) and Charcoal Pencil
If you missed it LIVE it is recorded for your viewing pleasure and available on my YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/TraceB5....HERE:
I used the NEW Faber Castell Glaze over it and LOVE it. Here are some of the finer details....
Thank you so much for joining me on this art journal journey. The book is done and complete! Boy does that feel great! I will post a complete re-cap and video of the completed journal soon. It is so bittersweet to complete an art journal and look back at it. I can remember how I felt for each and every one of those pages. It truly is a part of me that I am thrilled to be sharing.
Thank you again for filling my heart and my Mondays with Mixed Media Mania! I welcome everyone to join the Facebook Group HERE and share your projects! Don't forget our May 2013 Creative Dare too! See you next Monday, May 20th LIVE at 6:00 pm (PST)

This week it took me until Thursday to watch the Monday video! My life is fine, but my life "schedule" has been turned every which way but loose! My sister is doing so well following her double knee replacement that she is going home way earlier than my schedule predicted. I have had to call and change my haircut appointment twice already! I will be on Cape Cod for the next undetermined number of days watching my sister get better and better. This meat'n'potatoes girl will be cooking for a vegetarian! That's freaking me out!! So, this morning--well, today, is my day for artsy pursuits and, therefore, I am having coffee with Tracy while watching her video! I found it relaxing and encouraging. Love the daisy, Tracy--and the words of encouragement! I also saw my b'day card flash by the camera! Fun video this week, my friend!
