This was an assignment for my class with Laura. Having a great time and experimenting with lots of materials. Lots of things I would do differently on this one, but I learned sooooo much!

I decided that I wanted the story written on the journal page but did not want it on top of my work. The butterfly was collaged on and the writing behind it.

On a recent art day with my art buddies, we tie dyed shirts. Great fun - but the amazing thing was that as I held my wet dyed shirt in my hands, a butterfly came and sat on my shirt. He just sat there - and sat there. Of course before anyone could get their hands on a camera, he left. Great day. Great memory.

In one of Nelson DeMille's novels the main character had been shot multiple times and barely escaped with his life. When asked how he managed to survive, he stated, "with gunshot wounds it's like real estate...location, location, location." I feel the same way about the view from my kitchen.

I had the opportunity to spend a few days with some of my art teacher buddies in July at the beach. We had great fun catching up and spent one of our days at Cape Lookout. We took a water taxi over to the island and got to see a few of the wild horses of the Outer Banks of NC. The horses were a first for me. A great day and a great experience!

I would like to thank my friend Irene for sharing her journals and teaching methods with me. I love her work and her influence really shows up on this page. You can find her at naturejournaling.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-workbook-drawin.... Take a look!
