art journal or quote book

10.30.2009

as i look back over this project, i am not convinced it's an art journal as much as it is a quote book. researching other life artists actual art journals has caused me to come to that conclusion. i am still very intrigued by these journals, and really want to pursue it farther. i just missed a class over at get it scrapped by dina wakley called the grafitti of my life. time and ability is causing me to pass this class up for now.
so for today, here is the rest of the {21} day challenge art journal i did in september...the pages with the fancy digital quotes are the work of rhonna farrer.

this page is one of my favorites. not only is the quoted element succint and beautiful, but the addtional quote by n. eldon tanner is a daily must read for me::


day 10. re-discovered my stamps during this journal. i loved getting acquainted with them again::

    So glad you shared these pages here with us . They're very inspiring and I love the fact that each is unique yet has your style stamped all over it. They exude a strong sense of lightness, very inspiring indeed!
