I am making an art journal this weekend and thought I would take you all through my process as I create it.  I have discovered that if I am creative in an art journal at least once a week I feel better inside my own head.

This piece I started by taping two pieces of art paper together to make them into a larger piece.  I used two pieces of yellow colored paper as my base.

Then I took my acrylic paints and put dots all over the pages in all sort of colors.

I pressed the pages together to make a paint collage all over both pages.  I took a plastic card and dragged it on the outside of the pages to help set the paint together.

I have a conglomeration of different colored paint on both pages.  Check the pictures out.

one of the painted pages.

Next I need to pick a topic for this art journal page.

I used a black marker to make faces out of the paint on my paper today.  They are big ugly faces looking to the side of the pages.  I colored in the eye pupil black.

I added black and white tape to the edges.

It has turned into an abstract piece named Faces.
