I’ve just started collage art journaling within the last few months and am having a lot of fun! I haven’t posted anything since Craftster switched over to Lettuce Craft (I know, it’s been a minute…) and thought this would be a nice way to re-wet my feet. I am very new to this art form and just find that the freedom to PLAY is amazing.

Oh I should have described it a bit - this is actually a page in an altered dictionary volume from 1937 and measures 8" x 10".
Thank you for the lovely compliment! I have been shy to post so this made me feel great.

Thanks!!!
Welcome! I love this page! The mix of collage and hand-drawn, the composition, how perfect the proportions are between the whale and the flowers, using an old book page…bravo! Is the whale a photocopy? I always forget that there is that resizing (and reuse) option, and it looks good, too.

Thank you 
As far as the whale, I cut it out from a magazine. The flower-to-whale proportion is just entirely lucky that I found images that work together. The field of sunflowers was from a NatGeo and the individuals flowers came out of a seed catalog.
I love fussy cutting; it is so relaxing and is the perfect activity when I am feeling creative, but too lazy to do anything but watch a movie. Those flowers represent quite a nice quiet afternoon doing just that!

Welcome back!!
I haven’t yet mustered up the courage to do art journaling (or is it just because that I am too busy doing other stuff…? Maybe…?) but I always admire what all of you artsy folks post! And I really love this piece, and I really love that it’s in an old dictionary.
