Altered Journals

I enjoyed painting the two journals I started to alter with Sarah Whitmire.
This one is all finished and almost dry. It’s ready to be packed and to be used during the exhibition. I hope people will enjoy writing their comments in it about the exhibition.

On the back I added a picture of a well-known statue from the village where the exhibition will take place, I also added a small piece of street map and some street names. I added some horizontal waves to evoke the North Sea.
The front of the journal has a picture of a shell, some fabric shells, feathers, threads and some more.

The other journal I’m making for my sister-in-law is not yet finished.

I want to add a poem so that, when she reads it, it makes her happy and thinking positive.

The next thing I will alter, will be a table agenda. I will add more texture on the surface so that the paint pops out.

In two days I will start to hang all the works at the exhibition. I will also take some pictures and add them on the blog. You will have a little preview of all the exhibited works.
So, stay tuned…
