Send In the Clowns ...

Well, I certainly haven't been very good 'bout posting. Seems by the time I get home, the brain is mushy and I haven't felt like I've had anything to say. I have been doing some creative stuff in the form of stamping some cards but the creative spark has pretty much been, well, *poof* Here's to finding the time, space, energy and fire to create ... something ... anything.

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 ...
