My Art Journal Begins

I have been really enjoying my Twinkling H2O paints.  The journal was required for a class I signed up for and never did anything with, but I have had great fun playing with the paints.  The photos are actually in reverse order of their position in the book, but you can see I have been having fun!

This page is still in the works.  I used my new birds on a wire punch and a stencil.  The rest of it was done with a wash brush.

I added an embossed bicycle and some new star shaped confetti on the page on the left and experimented with a few other ideas on the right side.

Pages 2 and 3 in the journal including directions for my planned "stained" glass with alcohol inks.

The journal is called "Braless Art" with the idea that it will not be restricting or uncomfortable. I have given myself permission to just play in this book, and that means sometimes pages may not turn out all that great, but I liked the idea, and it was my first time to paint on paper with my paints. 

I liked this fortune cookie note, so I put it on page one.
