October "What's on My Mind?" Journal Page: Birches (Tree #149/10,000)
Autumn colors, pale blue sky, and white birches.
The writing on the left belongs to the previous two pages! There was an empty space between the two paragraphs so I continued with the birch trunks across the spread.
In this close-up, you can see the texture from the collage background. Acrylics and collage in a Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Journal.
Heartstones, River Rocks, and Purple Pebbles
Take joy in painting a rock! Watercolor pencils and acrylic glazing medium in Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media.
Watch the video to see my process using watercolor pencils and acrylic glazing medium.
I have a habit of picking up stones and putting them in my pocket.
Wise Old Possum Woman says a rock with a white band that completely encircles it is called a Wishing Stone. If you find one you can make a wish, but for the wish to come true you must then throw the rock into a lake. Two white bands means two wishes!
The center concretion "Fairy Stone" comes from Canada. It was formed thousands of years ago from sand and clay in a large glacier lake.
