The cover of my Prima Ballerina Junk Journal.

I'm in  love with these colors and all this rich texture. It's almost a shame to cover it all up, but I have plans for layering all kinds of goodies on top of her. 

 

Micaela the turtle.

Everybody is welcome. She's a Box Turtle, we named her "Micaela". Box Turtles are territorial and it will stress them out if they are moved, we got that from the local wild life experts. This was her home before it was ours, she does and can eat anything she wants, plenty for all. She loves the kitchen garden. Her special treat are the Strawberries, she loves them.

A few final touches to the Ballerina journals.

 

Pretties from the garden.

We so needed this rain and the garden is loving every drop. Thank you Lord.

The garden in the middle of June 2021.

 

Love this journaling card.

I love this image so much. It's by Edgar Degas, it's called The Dance Class and it's my favorite of all his works. I love it so much that I have a print of it in my art studio, it's not framed and it's a little loved from all the moves, but it still so beautiful. So when my friend Heather made a printable kit around his works, I just had to get it. Who am I kidding, I get all her digital art work.  

Last time Jamo and I were in NY we came very close to seeing the original, but the botanical garden won. So much to see and do in NY, maybe next time. I did see one of his work at the Louvre, a charcoal looking, Maybe?? It was called The Painter. But, the one I want to see is this one.
