As with pretty much all of my Analog Artlog pieces, I just let things flow and come about in the way they wanted to. That bird really wanted to sing. Tra la la!

Here is yesterday’s Analog Artlog entry:

I have to say how happy it makes me to receive all your lovely comments on my artwork. I really appreciate it - those of you who have mentioned that you might like to try… get yourself a blank book and get scribbling! It’s so much fun!Â
I was very happy to receive an encouraging comment from Linda Woods, one of the authors of the book I am reading. “Visual Chronicles” has the subtitle The No-Fear Guide to Creating Art Journals, Creative Manifestos & Altered Books and it really is so good.Â
The book is written by two sisters and has a lot of humour and easy to apply ideas and suggestions for visual journalling. The authors have a blog too - of course, who doesn’t these days?Â
I love how authors can be so approachable thanks to the internet - they’re just people like us after all.
Here is a peek inside the book - more pages are here.
Today I did a “leftovers collage” for my Analog Artlog. I was inspired by the wonderful collages from Kristin of Sweden - see this, this or this for inspiration. Kristin says that while at a friend’s place “I always bring a collage book and a glue stick, so it came to my mind I could ask them if I could look through their paper recycling bag. So, while talking and listening, I make a collage out of what I find in the bag - magazines, bags, notes, messages, anything they might have thrown away. It’s not only a throw away collage but also a memory from an evening spent at a friend’s place.”
So using only these:

I cut some bits up and stuck them in my journal:

then i added some watercolour paint, crayons and journalling to end up with this:

My leftovers collage “A Colourfull Life” and today’s Analog Artlog piece.
