Journaling at Boy Scout Camp

Art Journal Page: Craft acrylic paint, gel pen, ball point pen.Another "use up the paints in the palette" composition--I hate to waste paint!
Spent a couple of days at BSA summer camp, volunteering in the Handicrafts area. Leftover paint createsthe background. Images and journaling completed afterreturning home. There were over 300 scouts in camp during the weekI helped out, and 123 merit badges were worked onin the Handicrafts area, including Woodcarving, Leatherwork,Basketry, Sculpture, Indian Lore, and Art. It has been 7 years since I was the Director of Handicrafts at the camp, so several things had changed, but not theway the boys enjoy their time at camp...Beautiful sunshine, the sparkle of the lake, the shoutsof boys swimming, the laughter and singing atmeals, the rush to finish their merit badge requirementson the last day of camp...I hope you will click to enlarge the pictureto read the journaling on these pages.
