I finished another big journal and listed it on eBay. I never listed anything with a price this high... It was probably not the best idea in the world because I doubt that it will sell, but I just had to do it this way. As much as I enjoy creating journals like this, they are really not cost effective. Not only do they take days to create, but the things I put in have a certain value... Not to mention that it takes a full day to take photos and organize a listing. Another mistake - I have more than 50 pictures in my listing. Who will take the time to look through that? It's just that I want to show what's inside. I worry that people will not notice how many little details are in the big picture and how much thought I put into the elements my journals... Oh well... What will be will be.
I also listed this sleeping cat. I love when I can express my feelings through art. This piece is just like a journal page in three dimensions. I was feeling sad and low the whole day, a million silly things going through my mind, kind of torturing myself (does it ever happen to you?). And I noticed that our cat (Bart) was sleeping so peacefully, so relaxed... he calmed me down. I found a piece of wood (from a rubber stamp), sketched him and later painted using Carla Sonheim's technique. Then I added the saying on the back. I should have probably rubber stamped it, but I couldn't wait... I had to finish it. Now it makes me smile.
Hi Zorana, Well, I for one read through the big journal listing and looked at ALL the pics! How I wish I had $100 - I'd snap it up!! I think you're quite right to put it on at that price - there is just soooo much work in it - not to mention ALL the goodies!! And the little cat is adorable - and the saying so true and wise :o) I'm sure both he and the journal will find good homes...
ReplyDeleteI am in total awe of your talent. This journal is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. You're an amazing ARTIST. It is so wonderful. I know someone will snap it up fast and if it takes a bit longer I will be the happy one because I will have the chance to see, touch and experience it in person before it goes out to them. Gorgeous work, Doll! See you soon. me
