As Far As The Eye Can See

Remember the journal spread I showed you in yesterday's post?  Well I've now finished it.  

Acrylic paint, watercolors, Faber Castell Gelatos, Tumble Tie Dye color spray,
Caran d'Ache Neocolor II crayons,
water soluble graphite pencil, Inktense pencil, ink

This journal is a re-purposed music/song book that I found at my local thrift store.

Every time I work in my journal, I find that I enjoy it a little bit more and more. I'm hoping I get to the point where I can do some journal art almost every day. I won't hold my breath though as I know how I am.

The pages of this re-purposed music/song book have some simple illustrations printed on them and this particular spread had some trees, clouds, and a smiley-faced sunshine.

As I was putting the finishing touches on it I thought about the scene before me and suddenly a little poem popped out of me.

The earth
the sky
the trees
and me.

Beauty
as far
as the eye
can see.

Oh, and look who made an appearance while I was finishing up my journal page. Yes, that's dear Abby!  I call her the inspector.  While she has sniffed that water container a billion times, and knows that it is not for her, she insists on checking it and everything else out......again.

Today I'm hoping to finish up the free-motion quilting on the quilt I shared in yesterday's post.  Maybe I'll have something to show you on the weekend.  Happy Friday!
