I Love It! I LOVE It!!

I really need to take a photography class so that the photos I take of my projects come out better. I LOVE this piece, but I don't think this photo really does it justice. I had a picture in my mind when I started working on it, and it came out even better than I pictured. I tried out watercolor crayons, and I couldn't have asked for a better medium. They're easy to handle and blend like pastels, but also make this lovely wash when you add water. The shading they provided on the carrot was unintentional, but it turned out so nice I may just have to try to do it on another project in the future! The only thing I have a bit of a problem with is that my soil line tilts a little downward on the right, but that's okay. I live on a hill so it's just true to life. =-) I am so glad I decided to start this art journaling project! I have made some really nice projects, and given myself a few precious minutes all to myself every day. There is something so satisfying about taking a white piece of paper and making something colorful grow out of it. Thank you Julie for introducing me to art journaling and encouraging so many of us to join you in Art Journaling Every Day.
