getting to what is


in order to get from "what was".....



to "what will be".....



you must first go through "what is".



i hope you have a great weekend of "what is-ing"!  :))


{this was created in my walls notebook using derwent inktense pencils,
pan pastel, white uniball signo gel pen, 6B pencil}

  1. Lori, I am curious to know? Is the paper in this journal glossy? If it is, how does the pan pastel work on the paper. We don't get them here in SA but I just wanted to know.
    As usual I love your work, one day when the book is finished ... it could be published again... just to show people how awesome it can look when it is finished :o)

  3. hi caryl! the paper in the walls notebook isn't glossy, but it does have a "sheen" to it. pan pastel works quite well with it, whereas, watercolor doesn't work well at all! it has taken me a long time to figure out how much water i can get away with putting on the paper.....usually it's just enough to activate the watercolor pencil, and that's it! i think that the book was probably intended to be used with markers and pencils, but it's fun to see how far you can take it with other supplies too! have a great weekend! :))

  6. This journal with the blank walls and doors and windows certainly is fun for your art. I am "what-is-ing" with chocolate. Mr. C and I are re-doing some landscaping irrigation and plantings. What was to what-will-be to what is certainly fits us right now. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts Dear...
