This week I'm working on my art journal again. I've neglected it for quite a while, but am back now. I'm gessoing pages so that they're ready when I want to create a bit, and I've started this background with craft paint (orange) and heavy body acrylics (teal). I've also started another 5x5 canvas that is sitting on top of my modpodge jar.
If you want to know how the owl canvas turned out that I started last week, you can see it here.
The WOYWW's home is Julia's blog Stamping Ground where you can find a list of all participants - take a look and then visit all the other crafty people around the globe. It's a great journey.

Love your use of colours in your journal - it looks like where I live in the UK - Norfolk - on the east coast. the coastline looks just like your orange bit!
Ooh Carola, you have a jar of Prima flowers..I thought it was just me that still had a nearly full jar of the original style! And my keen eye spots a Paperartsy stamp mount - are you going to use it on that fab journal page? Wow.
Congrats on returning to your journal. I love those colors together. Your owl canvas turned out great. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #48
Just look at all the goodness here! So many wonderful things to play with!
Ooh thats a nice combination of colours!
Do you know, I was only thinking the other day how I have neglected my art journal. It really is something I must get back into as i enjoy it so much when I am working.
Thanks for showing your beginning and spurring me on to start myself. I love the blue and orange - great complimentary colours. Hugs, Neet #11

Hi! I like preparing my journal pages too! But I use wall putty instead of gesso. Patsy from

What a pain blogger is at the moment. I am still having trouble getting to leave comments. That owl canvas is great, you are such a talented lady.
Love that orange and teal colour combination:)
It is nice to have some background pages done isn't it?
I clicked the link and just saw the owl you created. It is great! I've enjoyed all the owl posts.

Looks like painterly fun!

With the advent of spring planting, I've been very lax on my crafting. Love seeing what others are doing though. :)
You are a very busy lady, Carola. Thanks for the link back to the owl canvas. I enjoyed looking at it again!

I've just been over to check out your Owl canvas, great work :-)
As always you have some intersting things going on with paint and paper, you show just enough to keep us guessing how the art will look when complete.

Lovely owl picture there. I do love that photo on the top of your blog - where is it?
Colours on your journal are nice.
Your pages are looking good! I like the orange and teal together! I haven't done anything for over a week and now I am back and ready to go! Maybe time to get out my journal too!
LOVE love love the owl canvas by the way, it is soooo fabulous!

Love the colours you are using there - I havent got to grips with art journalling yet although I do have a music book with about 8 pages painted ready to get going! Sunshine Girl No. 60
The owl canvas is lovely - the owl is the cutest. I haven't even started my art journal so you're doing great with yours. Have a happy week. Elizabeth x #53
Your WIP is looking good and I adore your owl canvas. Happy WOYWW ;)
I love your colour choices for your journal - definitely a combo I'm going to have to try! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Oooh that's an interesting-looking background there... will be interested to see how you develop it.
Thanks for sharing.
