and what came out was an ultra-grungy, ultra-painty, ultra-messy sewn book...I think it was my subconscious way of getting out all the stress I had been feeling. I realize it looks like a paint store barfed on a page...but it is what it is.

ummm... if that's paint store barf, it looks pretty darn good!
well i love it. i love all the colour you've used here,
and it just feels like there's so much in there.
and bravo to you on being willing to share with us, even when you personally don't feel like it's up to par with your "usual" sparks of creativity...that's a great example for the rest of us :)
i think it looks pretty fantastic. Any pointers for creating this effect? What paint do you like to use by the way? Golden or cheapies. Anyway I think the book looks fabulous.
I am loving this. I think it's extreme grunge...like jumping off a mountain before looking down and knowing you will still be safe when you hit the ground. AWESOME.

Oh my goodness, I'm soooo impressed with your wild and crazy barf; it's shear genius!!! Would you mind letting me know how you did it? Love, love , love those circles. You are an INSPIRATION.
My name is Dana, we have spoken before, I just want to say I am so inspired by your art journals. Too bad, I learn better in a classroom setting than I do online, or let's just say I more motivated, when I am hands on. If you are ever in Chicago, I hope you would consider teaching a class here. I would so sign up. Windy City is a great option. Hint! Hint! LOL
