'Red crown,' art journal page, 7 by 10 ins.
I started this page off by sticking some collage papers on the surface, then I added the stamping- using found stamp materials. For example, the hexagonal pattern came from a piece of household tile I found while out on a walk with my dog.
I looked through an old doodle/sketch book and found the guy in the crown, done in pen lines, so I ripped him/her out of the book, stuck it on my journal page and coloured the face using acrylics.
I had previously glued down a couple of lines from a Sylvia Plath poem which mirrored how I felt about half way through the project. But after I added the red crowned figure, I felt happier about the way the page was going so I added to the Plath lines to make them positive.
Sticking on doodles or line drawings is a good way to help develop an art journal page and also to find a 'home' for your doodles.

Here's a close-up of the face and written lines.
