WOW year 2020 and no postings since 2018

I am truly going to try to get back into my postings of new items, talking about new techniques and tools. I switched off for several years to making jewelry, I will post pictures of some of the pieces. But till then here is a couple of my most recent pages in my junkie art journal. I would be grateful for your thoughts and would love to see works from other artists.

I am sharing some of my background pages which I really enjoy doing. Some have been made into Artist Trading Cards. Give me some feedback and tell me what you think. I am designing new things daily, so watch for my posts. I would like to see what you are doing.

Altered Journals

Good Morning,
I am happy to say I have been very busy, I am creating some different technique paintings I would like to share with you. Let me know what you think. Then I will share with you the Altered Journals I have been making and have listed on Etsy.com for sale. I have finished my fourth journal and would love to have some constructive criticism. I gave it to my granddaughter for graduation and she just loved it.They are great gifts for the college bound.

Challenges that I didn't get posted

These are 2 challenges I never got around to posting to the web sites. One is for Illustration Friday titled pajamas. The other one was for a challenge of water cans. I have been working very hard on my art though. I am in the middle of five Altered journals. I will be posting a lot of pictures and hope you really enjoy them. If you have any constructive criticism, I would appreciate it. 

Color Me Positive

This is going to be my submission for week 14 of Color Me Positive. The quote is "Embrace the Glorious Mess You Are" by Elizabeth Gilbert. It is due Wed. April 14th. This is truly my glorious mess when it comes to drawing women faces. I really have to do a lot of practice.
The other piece is a mixed media page I did for no particular challenge.
Love to hear your comments.

Backgrounds

These are several backgrounds I have completed, I like to keep some handy so if a challenge comes in a hurry I have a piece already started. Do any of you do backgrounds in advance, I would like to see them.

This is a couple of pieces I did for the Illustative Friday Challenge. The prompt was mushroom. I have not decided which one I will submit, as you can tell by my posts I go for a long period with out doing any journals and then I will get to it gong ho for awhile. I would like some comments as to which piece I should submit for the challenge. I look forward to seeing other submission.
