Art Journaling Playtime


 Lori and I explored what is possible
with......

~ color stamp pads ~ bags of interesting words
 ~ japanese papers ~
gold ~ silver
guache paints ~ brushes
calligraphy markers
PLUS...plus..


A great array of papers to play with. 
...it was challenging to stop and store them away



 I found some awesome stamps and ink pads..
 at the Paper Place on Queen St West..


Creating around the table with tea.



'Mellifluous ~ Goddess ~ Flower'...
My interesting words that I pulled from Lori's Magic bag of words.

Here's the definition of MELLIFLUOUS
1
: having a smooth rich flow <a mellifluous voice>
2
: filled with something (as honey) that sweetens
              
Lori's words: 'Plenty ~ Playful ~ Love'
