THERE'S AN IGUANA UNDER THAT FLOWER - ART JOURNAL NUMBER TWO

There's an iguana under that flower.

This art journal looks very similar to the Hot Dog art journal you may have seen in my last post, 

because I worked on them at the same time, 

using lots of the same ephemera - 

but is actually quite different. 

Both of these journals were made out of recycled greeting cards. 

The flowers on the cover of both are some that I made for a project which my Sophia asked me to help her make. 

She designed and directed the above flower robot and I used left-over flowers for the art journal covers. :) 

Jennibellie was my main inspiration. :) 

I was also motivated by the fact that I'll be teaching a couple workshops on making art journals out of what most people usually throw away

 - in Florida - 

in about 3 weeks time! 

I have hundreds more cards that I've saved over the years and will hopefully put them to good use...soon. 

I've decided I'm on a down-sizing spree and every time I use something that I already have on hand...

it makes me feel SO good. 

It really is a totally joyful process.

Try it - 

you'll like it!

annie!
