So this morning with determination and after 2 cups of coffee I strode out to the shed to work in my sketch book. A few weeks previously when I have been feeling even less motivated I worked on empty pages putting in random acrylic and magazine transfers, the technique my daughter taught me.
Then a couple of weeks ago I went through the transfers making them bird shaped using white paint. 
And today I have spent several hours with ink, paint, bleach and
gum arabic transfer working into the pages.
As you can tell some have worked better than others, but more to the point I am now up and running again. By the way, it is not a spiral bound sketch book, that is the gum arabic transfer image.
I am looking forward to Thursday when I can again spend the whole day playing with ideas.

The transferred images look terrific Sue (no idea how you do them, mind you!)
This does get one's creative juices flowing!
gorgeous notebook pages for sure.
Oh my, but that bottom one is a beauty!........... I have clicked on it several times to look closer.
Wonderful pages, thanks for the reminder that 'doing something' is the best way to get the inspiration up and running.
Terrific pages.
love the look of the sketch book pages. How do you do the magazine transfers?
What beautiful work!
Great pages. You were industrious! Even I did some work after that phone call. I am drawn to that orange. I fancy doing something in orange teamed with sugar pink... perhaps not. Talk again soon. x
Oh my, these are wonderful. The transfers are SUPERB, I love how they've all turned out. Haven't heard of gum arabic transfers before.......
