The stories behind my art - Page 3 - #021 - 030 'dollhouse' 1:12 scale miniature original paintings.

Some initial glitches but now up and running in correct place. This is Page 3 - where I am starting to put up inventory and stories behind my artworks.
This is page 3 of my 1:12 scale dollhouse miniature paintings.

Again, you can see where my heart is - garden/old things, beach/ocean/sunsets, the art of the human body studies, and patriotic American studies for a 4th July special exhibition.

A tip for art journal pages. Printing shortage. Using washii tape.

My printer tends to print a little 'short' of a full page at times - so I have a blank gap. For art journal pages this is a bit annoying, but I was very pleased with the results of using a strip of black dotted washii tape along the bottom. It fitted in perfectly, and for this printed page, it just added the right amount of subtle interest.
If you collect old papers, you could cut a tape-like strip of text, and paste that. Having a ragged top to it could also work well.
