Visual Journaling with Lots of Little Details Make it Fun!

 
Thanks so much to Everyone who left a comment on my last post about my Visual Journaling class.  I've been inspired ever since and made a couple more pages this past week.  

My friend Terry had these really cool "naked lady" playing cards she was sharing.  I took a couple knowing I'd want to incorporate them into one of my journal pages.  They are just sort of floating there but I think they're fun!

Here is the girl's body that I used as my jumping off point for my page.  I love getting catalogs in the mail and thought that this model's body would be fun to use. As you can see, I quickly got rid of her purse and did some embellishing to make her a little edgier.

Love her little fishnet gloves!

And here is another one... her body is from the same catalog with a different head of course.  I enjoy mixing and matching pieces to create something new.

Happy Monday!  And how can it be that Fall officially begins this Saturday, the 22nd?  I'm thrilled about that although I don't think we'll be feeling it for quiet sometime as it's been over 100 many days recently.

I'm dying to wear my boots!

Cheers and have a great week ahead.

Holly

I wondered when Fall was coming around, now I know. I knew it was soon...all of the signs are there.

The post was fun to read. Your work is nice.

Like your idea of using the body from one and the face
from another. This idea could be used in my drawing and painting too
