Sometimes I Write Poetry - by Amanda Trought - Color Paintings

You get to take a look inside the book at the color paintings that separates each chapter, and take a walk through the book.

Here are my Junk Journal pages so far, for Nature and hand dyed... I have enjoyed creating these little characters in ink, almost like doodling. For dyed I used pieces of fabric that has been wax resisted, also painted and written on and added additional mark making and stamped image. 😍😍 #junkjournals #artjournalplay #artjournalideas ##artfuljourney #realityarts #recycledjournals #junkjournaljuly2022 #creativity #journalinspiration #artjournallove #artjournalprompts #creativewellness #artlove #amandatrought #flowers ##createdaily #creativepractice #nature #waxresist #textileart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgAc5Mvu5N8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
