Last page of my first ever art journal

This is the first art journal I ever started, a year ago in February. I have started several others since then, mostly the 16 page journals demo-ed by Teesha Moore.  But this one has been my favorite. It is a Strathmore mixed media journal I got on clearance at Michaels. I never see this version anymore, I don't know if they are still out there. This is now the first journal I have finished. I did this page with inktense pencils and my beloved black smash pen.

Mulberry paper portraits

I recently learned this technique from a Cloth, Paper,Scissors mini workshop with Rachel Pannagerry. This technique is magical and forces you to be loose. Here are 2 examples of portraits I did with this technique. 
The first one is from my art journal, and the second is a work in progress
 on canvas.
