journal sketches.. or collages?

I have been in the mood to collage with magazine pages in my journal lately. Here are three that I am happy with. Last week I also doodled with water-soluble crayons, fast and fun. Something prompted me to count the remaining pages in my journal ~ the looming end of the year? I was surprised to find out that I was quite a few short. I knew that I wouldn't have enough pages, but somehow I thought it would be just a few days. Turns out it will be a few weeks! What a mathematician I am...... now I have to figure out a way of adding pages to my already burgeoning book. But I shall procrastinate on that until the end of the month because I can! so there...

Oh, these journal pages are wonderful. I love seeing what people are doing with their art journals - yours inspire me. THANK YOU!

I really like your abstract color collages with the magazine articles. You could even make these into full scale larger art pieces if you had the interest! Beautiful.

I really like the collages. Cool! After you're done with the journal, maybe you can cut them out and recycle them into a quilt ....
