I made some random mosaics from my current VJ. A different perspective than flipping through the pages. I don’t have a lot of writing on the pages. In the last couple of books I’ve unconsciously moved away from the idea of VJ as diary. Probably because I have a writing journal that I deposit most of my words into. If I didn’t have that, these pages would be full of inky words. but mostly they’re full of experiments. I keep meaning to take some of these ideas back to my wood panels, but so far I haven’t. I will though. I will
I made Visual Journal No. 11 last fall. Most of my VJ exploits can be found HERE. I’ve also installed a search feature at the bottom of this here blog. Think of it as ME only more efficient. and faster!

LOVE your work – so inspired by your Remains of the Day postings and class participants. Have posted about you in my blog….and I am now a follower of yours 🙂
Oh, please, don’t. move. one. bit. faster!
Oh, you know I love those wood panels. But these pages? A serious crush.
Loving your latest journal. I’ve gotten out of the habit of journaling this summer and I miss it. I’ve lost some of my courage to play these days it seems and am sticking to easy stuff with a lot less fulfillment. Hopefully, I can settle on the next journal and get started soon. Its like losing a limb being without one all the time. xo, debra

Your color combos are transfix-ing. Thank you.
Thanks, MaryAnn for sharing the links to your “journal journey” … I’ll enjoy trekking through them. Love your use of color and shape. As Susie said, it makes me want to grab paints and one of my journals and play (I posted a blog entry on the m.a.n.y journals I have to play in … it’s insane.)
Hmmm evolving and changing Mary Ann… me likeeee! Each journal page is more beautiful than then the next!
Oh my. What a splash of color. These pages are beautiful…and when you do get them to the wood panels it will be stunning in deed 🙂
Happy Weekend.

What stands out to me most about these pages is the vibrant colors and repetition of shapes. I like the direction your journals are going.
Your color play is truly inspiring. Everytime I look at your pages I want grab an empty canvas and paint. The colors tell a different story than your words on the page might…the images, the sweeping strokes, it’s like reading a poem without the words taking center stage…just a few morself of thought to take you back to whatever it was that moved you in that moment. The colors are vibrant voices and they make me want to listen.
