We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart.

Since I got so many great comments on my last art journal post (about almost “finished” pages) I thought I’d share one of them that now is completely finished! Once I decided to actually “just do it” it wasn’t that difficult, and I really like it now. It’s a bit more full, and a bit more me. I just added some words and called it a day.
This is how it looked when I showed it to you the first time:
This is how this art journal spread looks now:
My favorite part is my “Bunny on a blue quilt” drawing that I did on brown paper, here it is close up:
Bunny drawing, inspired by previous bunny power, drawn with pen and crayons. Isn’t he cute?
Drum-roll please!
Thanks for all your great links on my last post! If you’ve got nothing to do for a day or two, you can click through to some amazing links in the comment section of the giveaway post Feeling bodacious! You are all winners, with such amazing content and ideas. Thank you! The winner of Kate’s class is Melissa, as picked by the random number generator. This week we’re playing with spray paints. Only thing is I don’t own any (yet).
Have a great week!
Thank you, Hanna! I just got an email from Kate about winning, woohoo! Looks like I will be needing some spray paints, too!
I love your bunny. The page looks truly finished now.
i love the magic of before and after pages! thanks for sharing that with us – it looks great.
The bunny is cute..
Ooh…how I missed your blog after a week of travel.
I love seeing how the page changed with such small additions.
Your bunny is adorable.
Hugs,
Sophie
I love your adorable bunny on a blue quilt! :]
Congratulations to the winner too, hip, hip… hooray!
Adding the handwritten text and the bunny makes the page complete! It’s totally YOU now! YAY for pens and bunnies!
Your bunny is so sweet. Nice to feel that something is done, isn’t it ? ;)
Have fun with Kate’s class ! Spray on!
I love these pages, but I REALLY love the bunny. My Sarah (one of my 7-year-old twins) has a ratty old bunny that she’s carried around with her since before she could walk. She’s drawn several sketches of Bunny with pencil, but this might inspire her to add some color!
Inspiring as always, Hanna! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Congratulations to the winner. Have fun with Kate’s class! I really enjoy journaling before/after pages, or process pages; they are very inspiring!
Hanna!! Love these extra embellishments. I’m glad you shared it. Since I’ve been journaling this year, I’ve really learned that I am hesitant to add more things, because I don’t want to ‘mess it up’, but usually, the more full of detail, the more fun it is!
Love this page! I have so many half finished pages that I need to “just” do
I DO love that sleepy sweet bunny. Very fun to see the two stages!
Hi Hanna…thought I should come check out what you’ve been up to. I love your journal pages….and the bunny is the right touch.
