The Crown of Life

Just a quick post to share a part of my journal...


and for Palette and Paint, the box lid which i converted into a tray for my paints, and water soluble pastels.  I find that using these pastels makes it easier for me to cover large areas without getting the page too wet since my journal pages aren't that thick.


I'm linking up with Paint Party Friday, Studio Sneak Peek, Brag on God Friday, and Sunday Sketches.
