She challenged us to do our powerful Trusts - we could use some of hers.

Below is what the canvas started out as..  This was one of my first canvases I had ever did when I had no idea what I was doing.   I loved it until my next one - then my next and now i have piles of canvases that I don't know what to do with... Well that is until today.

SO I started with drawing some circles - which with sunflowers on my mind quickly came into sunflowers.

Painting around the pedals and trying to let the old paint layers bleed through

Some Gesso  and Gelato watercourse..

More thoughts came out.

Got out my black montanta marker pens and had some more fun.

And black india ink - and added the outlines

Letting it dry now - tomorrow will pick up and show you the finished piece.

Your going to love it.

Please follow my blog and I love comments.

Heres the rest of it.

I didn't like how the leaves were so bland - so i crumpled up some scrapbook paper teared the shape and then inked up the edges and glued on surface.

I really like to write the text myself instead of from a computer - thought I love the look from the printer.  But since this is a journal page I tried to journal.

"You have many reason's to Smile"

Used Montana Paint Markers

Life isn't Perfect but it's pretty Darn Close.

Think Positive... Mixed Media - Art Journalling - 4-14-13

So I have been watching a ton of you Tube video's and all my favorite artist drawing faces... I was so totally freaked out.. 

I never draw a face I didn't know how to start.

So I figured why not start another project - and finally pulled out the Martha Stewart Wood Burner - and wanted to make some sences.

So if you look below you can see the outline of the face that I made as a stencil   When it was done I did have to go back in and paint it - and repaint the lines  so It's almost just me ... but has given me the courage to do it on my own.

I still didn't feel like this was done yet.... so I did a few more thins.  I pulled out Dyan's Stencils and went to town on the edges...   Then highlighted them with White.

 Love Love Love how these pages came out...  I could not be prouder.

I hope you enjoy these pages ... Please comments.
