Ok, now that I've got that off my chest, time to post some pics from the art journal project I shipped off a couple weeks ago. Seems there isn't quite the push to keep it all a secret now so if someone beyond my one or two readers stumbles on to these pics, I won't feel as if I've blown the big surprise.
Let's start with the cover ... what I wanted was a toy clown. Have you tried finding toy clowns lately? They're nowhere to be seen - nada - nothing - vanished. I went to toy stores, to party supply stores - zip! Sure, plenty of Pixar and Princess party packs but just try to find a clown. Someone must have decided that clowns scare children and passed a ban.
So, time to improvise ... stamp a clown and frame it with frogs (they're plastic, btw) ...
Stay tuned for more 'journal in the making' posts ...
