When I uploaded
the images for this
post, I noticed the
work is all focused
on red (hence the
title). I wasn’t even
aware of that when
I worked on these
pages!

This is a detail
photo of a page I
made in the ‘grid’
journal last week.

Can you tell what it is yet?
(You can click on each photo in this post to enlarge)

It may get clear here… yep, that’s me!

Self portrait in pixels

15 x 15 cm - 6 x 6 inch

The grid is 3 x 3 mm - 0.12 x 0.12 inch
Used materials: Ruler, pencil, Caran d'Ache watersoluble
crayons & small brush

This page isn’t artistic at all – I made it because my mojo was dropped
to a low, just to keep my hands busy. I edited a photo in Photoshop
and copied the pixels onto the page. A bit like a cross stitch pattern.

It’s funny though, how the portrait comes to live when you look at it
from an angle!

I made the next art journal page earlier in the week

Somewhere Down the Crazy River

29,7 x 21 cm - 16.9 x 8.3 inch.

Used: gesso, acrylic paint, sequin waste, Ranger Adirondack
Color Wash, 'fiber paper', pages from an old encyclopedia,
distress ink, Indian ink, bamboo dip pen, Caran d'Ache
watersoluble crayons, white Sharpies

And here’s for Haiku my Heart

I’ve written better haiku’s – but I post this one anyway.

Haiku My Heart is a wonderful place where people from all over the world
post beautiful photos and and write amazing Haiku. It is hosted by Rebecca
and you can find the list of participants on her blog recuerda mi corazon.

I wave a ‘red farewell’ to you too… enjoy the weekend and see you next week!
