Yet another quick page in my horrid journal, this time to test out some new metallic powders, which when wet medium is added over the top of become matt and dull - oh well, lesson learnt.
Also been making some mini journals to top up those I give away free in my Etsy shop.
Day 19's final word count for NaNoWriMo was: again not worth mentioning, but today is day 20 - I have 10 days left, 10 days! So I think (or rather I hope) that it has given me a good kick up the backside to get somewhere today. I actually have a good story, good plot (knew where it was going on day 1), characters are well rounded and funny, what I don't have is a writer with the ability to keep her bum parked on the seat. Pretty fundamental to the task really, but there we go! Happy day 20 to all those doing any challenges this month - big pat on back that we made it this far, yay :)
I love the butterflies! They are whimsical and happy looking. I know what it's like though when something in your head doesn't quite come out the way you see it. :)
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe there is a mere 10 days left to AEDM! Where did it go? Congrats on sticking with it!

Your journals are so pretty and it is essential to have to hand somewhere to record your memorable journeys. Great job!!

What are you doing reading this when you should be writing that novel?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR POST! THANKS FOR SHARING...LOVES SORAYA
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've found that when I put matte medium over glitter and other sparkly things, I does dull the effect -- which is so sad. I've tried glossy medium/varnish, but my work always comes out sticky! Even though the sparkle shows through nicely.
On writing -- what if you sat down and set a timer for 10 minutes? That way, the committment is small, and if you want to keep going, you can. This definitely helps me.
What pretty, bright butterflies! Love it. Butterflies always brighten the day. (I would love to visit Shakespeare's land too!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute art journal you have!! I make one too, so I was sent over to check yours out by Saturday Sequins. I love how colorful yours is & the decorate page edges you use. I will definitely check back in to see your future updates!!

Your butterfly page is lovely but I absolutely LOVE your travel journal! I adore the look of thatched roof cottages! What a fun and interesting trip that would have been.
ReplyDeleteBtw, your mini journals are so cute!
See you tomorrow,

The butterflies look fine. As you say, another lesson learnt.
ReplyDeleteThe freebie journals look good too, and have reminded me that I need to order presents before it gets too late.
Those little journals are adorable and those are some very colorful butterflies! I like! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLoving your work....I am so glad you visited my blog so I could discover you :-)
