Circle Journal

I made this little art journal for a circle journal swap that's starting soon. There's about 12 of us participating, from the US, Canada, Australia, Netherlands and Norway. It'll be a year before I get this bad boy back, but I am excited to see it filled with so many creative individual's creations!

These are the front and back covers. I gesso-ed and painted, then collaged the images on top. The theme for my journal is "Inspiration," I am hoping everyone will share what's currently inspiring them to create.

Reverse of the front cover, and the instruction page, I left it open except to ask everyone to create a 2 page spread (the pages are 6x6 inches).

These are the sign-in pages, there are spaces that look like this for all 12 participants to tell a little about themselves and include a picture.

Here are my pages, I cut up some pictures taken by D. into squares, inked the edges, then rearranged onto the page. I am already missing the glorious fall colors, going outside everyday was a feast of color for just about the entire month of October!
