New Art Journal Pages

These are a couple of new pages that I created over the last couple of weeks.  The second one is going to be a part of a journal that I will be putting together for sale on Etsy, full of quirky backgrounds and journaling prompts and yummy stuff. I love the pop of red over top of the blue...and the semi-creepy doll heads... I have had a few people tell me that they love the creepy feeling pieces that I have in my journals, and that they would love a journal with some quirkiness. So that is in the works, but I thought I would share some of the pages as they develop!

Seriously...

 
How is this level of chaos even possible?  And what is even scarier, is that I had already been cleaning and tidying for about 15 minutes. My art desk is out of control.  It seems like I get to a point where I literally have no room to create anymore - I am working in about a 10"x12" area with stuff towering to either side of me.  That is usually the breaking point, where I don't even want to sit down there to try to create.  And I don't love mess.  I don't thrive in it.  But my personality seems to generate it.  I work on something for a bit then set it aside to dry.  Or I don't want to file that paper scrap because I might use it on the next creation. And I know that I really just don't have my area quite set up right yet, because for all the things that do have a place?  It's a miracle of organization.  So I need to spend some time really just dreaming about exactly how I want/need this space to function.  So that everything has a place but is accessible. It's close, but I think some drying racks are much needed.  Some journal storage space. Some place for my jars and jars and bottles of mediums and gessos. Some lovely baskets perhaps?  Which keeps it all contained, but easy to grab? Oooh...I think I love the idea of changing up the shelves to be deeper to hold baskets and lovely rows of paint.  The back wall was cool when I did it, but my focus has changed since then and I just need...more. Any thoughts?  What would you do?
