I tried to go into it with no expectations for the outcome, and I’m pretty satisfied with what I got.
It was great to hang out with some fellow LCers, too!

Look at those colors!! <BOOYAH!>
Couldn’t make it today but it looks like you all had fun. When my pupils (eyes, not kids) get back to normal, I’ll examine your pics more closely.
Next time, I hope I can join!

“… Tomorrow we can drive around this town, and let the cops chase us around…” I love me some '90s.

Those chevrons are bangin! I like your letter outline, too. Your organic color spacing - esp on the first one - is really harmonious.
I had shown a couple of journal pages on yesterday’s zoom that a couple people expressed interest in.

Here are my pages and the videos I used as inspiration. They were attempts are leaving more white space which is hard for me.

Thanks for sharing those videos! I really like them both, but I can understand why leaving white space is a challenge. But, it does create a place a calm on the page, which is nice.

Thanks for the links, gg!! I am going to try them both!
Your versions are spectacular!
I like the white space; as a stand-alone image it is striking, and it also allows for using the page for written journaling if you see fit.
Here are my completed (?) pages from yesterday:
I’m not getting clear shots on my phone but they’re on the themes of transformation, feathers and birds, courtesy of @Edel. I did the two in tandem, one on an old sheet of cardstock and the other on a bunch of old photos that were glued to a book page. The next time I try this, I’ll mark on the back where interesting things are on the photos so I can scrub off paint selectively and have the photo peek through.
I think I’ve successfully disguised what at first appeared to be a set of fake-tanned boobs…but since I’ve seen them, I can’t unsee them.

Hahahaha. I don’t see tanned boobs so you did a good disguise job!
I love the dragon fruit color!!!
Your pages are so vibrant.

I don’t generally like going back and reading my journaling which is why so many of my pages just have a quote or a couple words. If I feel like journaling I do it on the page before covering it in paint. Gets me thoughts out and then I wash my hands of it!

Great idea! And you can then share them publicly with a whole extra layer of meaing in there that no one else will know about without your consent. I need to keep that in mind. I’m still working out what art journaling is going to signify to me and how to approach it.
@calluna I love your pages! And nary a boob in sight! The diamonds are perfect, and your layering is on point. The photo really shows a lot more detail! I really appreciate many of the motifs you used in your pieces. Great job!
clever woman! I like this!

Though I missed the party I still wanted to try it. Took me a couple nights but here are my two versions.

@geekgirl love your pages, I wouldn’t mind trying some white space. Those turned out lovely

Wowza, @audity! Your colors are so vibrant! And you covered the space really well! I like the dark frame - is that with ink?

Swooning! I love that you can have so many colors blended and they don’t turn to mud; no easy task!

Your colors are great @audity!
I love you can still see your book pages under the paint. I tried but still ended up obscuring most of mine.
