Italy Art Journal

It occured to me that of all the art journals I've made I'd not yet made one for my Italian heritage, birthplace of my grandparents.
My maternal  grandmother came here as a young girl of 13 . Not even with her mother, but with an Aunt. What Courage! 
  What I have out here are some of the papers for the pages and then I'll be adding bits and pieces from things I've saved and collected.
  I've already put together my page for Rome.  Lots more to come.

Playing with Paper !!

 Thanks to my friend Nancy from  Adventure with Paint  this is the mess I'm making today.  All her fault.
A new technique  on her blog so out came all the papers, the glue the paints.
  If and when this turns into something I'll post it on Art Hearts Place.. but for today at least  it kept my mind from other things called ' LIFE ' ?.
Thanks Nanc, you didn't know you helped me today, but you did..   Next stop for us The Garden Cafe for Peanut Butter Pie... Nancy is a blogger that lives in Florida so we have actually met a few times.     BJ
