Arting around feels good!

Here are a few art journal pages I've been working on during the night when I can't sleep...its really helped me to wind down from the pressures of the day. Once I've done that, I go to bed and listen to my ipod - usually Andrea Bocelli - last years birthday gift from a friend - yes Gill I DO listen to it and I like it very muchly thank you, in fact I'm listening to it now as I write this!

Andy loved this one - he's my honest critic and I value his opinion of my work.
*note to my daughters - I luurve you...hope this makes you laugh!!



I was feeling pretty poopy this day, I think the murky background colour shows it!



This was done after the one above but I thought I'd brighten it up a little more... don't want to feel morose when I look back at these pages! I used pastels to make the border.



And this image was from a Sunday supplement. I liked....well, more like I was drawn to the pink hair! I did this last night and haven't journal ed yet as the thoughts are still chunkling around inside my head.



I can see these pages have a theme in that Ive 'framed' them all, i.e. given them all a border which I quite like.

    You have been busy during the night. Wonderful creative pages I haven't magnified them so I don't know what you have journaled but they are all looking good.

    These are fantastic, love them all - I have that person that I have to keep in check too. You aren't alone.

    Gorgeous work, I love the images you find and you just make them seem a part of the page so well.

    Very quirky pages Sandra, but I love them. Loads of atmosphere on each page.
