UPDATE Great Canadian Travelling Art Journal Challenge




Greetings fellow art journalers!  I thought you would enjoy an interim update on the Great Canadian Travelling Art Journal project that we started back in February.  If you missed that post, click HERE.  You can see what it looked like in its "before" state.

As a reminder to you of how the project got started, I took a few Christmas cards and recycled them into a little art journal that measures about 6" X 6" and has 16 pages in it.  Each artist is doing one page in the journal as it travels across Canada and back.

We've now had half a dozen different artists take a turn at creating a truly unique page in the journal and I must say, we have some phenomenally talented people taking part.   Here are some of the artist's work (each artist is noted below their photos).

This little journal is going to be a really special, one of a kind treasure when it is done.  I can't wait to see it all finished.  It has one more stop in British Columbia before it heads to New Brunswick and then back across Canada home again.  Stay tuned.  I'll have more updates as our featured artists finish their pages.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, Linda. It's in Victoria right now, then to New Brunswick and then to a number of you in Ontario, before heading to Saskatchewan and Alberta on its way home. It will have put on a lot of miles by the time it gets back to me in BC. Phew!
