An art journal page inspired by my Scandinavian roots. I created a stencil of the bunnies facing away from each other and used them back and forth. Lots of doodling for each set across. The page is framed by a leaf pattern and there's a heart at the top center.
Ready for Easter? Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies...

An art journal page that features a yellow heart made of tiny flowers. The rest of the page is covered with swirls that are outlined, and then inside each little pocket is more doodling.
I really enjoy art when it takes its own path. Tiny flower outlines formed a heart. Then coloring and doodles for days.

An #artjournal page for the #mixedmedia52 challenge of #scribe. I found a fun #quote, but not sure about the page. That's how it can go for artists but we keep doing it because often, we love it.
