Art...my saving grace!

I am beyond thrilled at the way in which this canvas came together.  So many layers, textures, mediums, fun, fun, fun!  Used in this project were acrylic stamps, cling mount stamps, old dictionary pages, stencils, white and black gesso, ink sprays, adirondack paints, chipboard...lots of goodness.  I won't go into full details because my brain is on overload and my eyelids are about to defeat me.  Let's just say that all of the little secrets are in the details...just look closely!

Art Journal by Dyan Reaveley

I had the pleasure of taking an art journal class with Ranger instructor Dyan Reveley.  This class was definitely a little bit out of my realm.  We worked with her signature sprays and stencils which really isn't my thing, but I did enjoy it and I'm glad that I participated in the class as much as I possibly could.  Unfortunately I was taken down by allergies and had to quit almost halfway through the class.  Boo!  But I brought the project home and I did buy several of the sprays so I will definitely finish the journal in my own time.  I will leave you with these images from Friday's class, you can find more on my facebook art page...
