17 Days of Green: Day 7

I decided to do a mandala page....I added the shamrocks because the page seemed sort of "empty". I used sharpies but they didn't work as well on the painted page as they do a regular page. I also used the metallic markers. They worked great!

17 Days of Green: Day 6

For this page I started out sort of collaging on bits and pieces. I didn't really like the way it looked so I picked up a bottle of green glitter paint at Walmart. It certainly did the trick.....I like it a lot better with the glitter paint.

17 Days of Green: Day 5

As I posted earlier, I didn't want to but a lot of material for this journal but when I was in the Dollar Tree I found some window clings. There are quite a few on the sheet. I wondered in they might work in the art journal because for a dollar....they were cheap enough. So here's one of the little lerprecahun guys and he worked just fine. He almost looks like a rub on. I modge podeged under and over him!

17 Days of Green: Day 4

I wanted to get a little different look on this page and I happened upon the frog in a magazine...and with the saying...'its easy to be green." I thought it would work nice on this page! It's day four and I feel like I am getting a little be more flow to the journal process.

17 Days of Green: Day 3

I wanted to make a page that was about GREEN but ended up making a page about Ireland (well sort of). I can tell that this project is going to STRETCH my mind with trying to keep the pages different.

17 Days of Green: Day 2

Here's the day two page. I am really liking the metallic pen in gold....it goes on very smooth and is nice and shiny. I used a Celtic design I printed off the internet and then a Irish saying. I then added some design around the design. It's pretty simple but I like it!

17 Days of Green: Day 1

Today is Day One in the 17 Days of Green series. During the first 17 days of March I will work on my St. Pat's art journal and share it with you here at The Creative Spirit. I hope you will create an art journal too and post that you are working on one in the comments section along with a link to a blog or photos so we can see your work also! For me as always it is not about being a great artists (I'm not).....it's just about the fun of creating. The photo above is my cover page. The photo below is today's page. Some days I'll work on one page and some days a two page creation. It will depend on time and my creative muse.
