Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

March has come and gone

Blimey we are now a quarter of the way through 2011, it's true time does go quicker as you get older! So here is my third month completed for the years Art Journal Calendar challenge. It's been an intersting/busy/emotional month! One thing I have learnt this month is that it's not a good idea to try and write over wax pastels, you live and learn. March looks a messy month, April on the other hand is much cleaner...

    I dont think it's because we are getting older It's because we try to cram more into our day so it seems like it goes quick because we have so much we want to do and not enough time to do it !

    Journal looked busy too see what I mean LOL

    And I say what a great way to learn...by having fun! Also, you've picked up a tip from a bloggy mate - how cool is that! I like the grungy look of March but April looks pretty interesting too :)

    Oooh I love the look of your pages, and yes I found out a while ago that you can't write over wax crayons, or oil pastels for that matter!! Well done for keeping up so far x

    Lovley pages - I like the April ones with the splodges of colour. I also painted my sqaures directly onto the backgriound this month - seems to work well. Like the pale colours on yours.
