Canvas Creating

So while I'm waiting for The She Art Workshop to start I thought I'd play around a little and get a feel for painting again.

I layed down paper, painted, misted, stamped, cut out and glued only to realise I really didn't like what I was doing so I started the process all over again and ended up with this. Even painting with my ink and using my Cricut for the tree. I love that tree :) While this isn't my favourite piece, something is a miss..... I do sort of like it a little

Art Journaling in Feb

I haven't done as much as I wanted this month, sometimes my 10minutes are more like 1-2 minutes, enough time to throw down some paint, or stamping or even a few bits of tape. Still though atleast I've got those few minutes to play. I'm actually liking doing it like this too.

No rush

No need for a deadline

Just fun

and freedom

this is what I've been working on this month, some are finished others part way through completion and others well they are at the start of their journey.

Hope you enjoyed my latest ;)

Art Journaling :)

I have a confession.........

I haven't journaled very much at all over the past couple weeks.

Now.... I'm wondering if cleaning, moving and re arranging my craft space counts towards it though?????

While playing around in my journal the other week I came across a very cool technique using glue :) of course it was Helmar I had spilt a little bit along the edge of a page I was creating and at the time I didn't think anything of it but once it came time to inking the glue ended up resisting the ink :) just like the Pink Paislee papers, I have created a sheet with which glues work and which don't feel free to stop by the Helmar blog to see my results

I created an art journal page by doodling in Helmar Premium Craft Glue over my page, few hearts, a word, I've used a mask before and painted the glue over it.  

I then sprayed some glimmermist over areas of my paper, blotted it and added some distress ink,

Then I embellished with a flower, tickets, bird, writing, really whatever you want, thats the beauty of an art journal, you do what and there is no right or wrong :)

Also, the glue works well with stamps :) it does take a little bit of experimenting to work out the perfect amount but you can achieve some AWSOME results

Here's just a few other pages I've been working on

 

do LOVE my tag, I'm going to insert it into my journal somewhere I just haven't worked out where or how yet

So thanks for stopping by

Art Journal Journey Day Four, Five and Six

wow, can't believe we are nearly a week into this. So far I've only completed ONE full page, but have had fun playing with paint and medium along the way and that's what matters most right???

Day Four and Five

I forgot to take a photo of where I finished up on day four and woke up yesterday and started playing around before the kids woke up. Currently a work in progress (I've actually added to this tonight)

Day Six

Yep I'm working on the floor, yes that is paint spilled there too actually from the kids ;)

Bit of misting, bit of inking, bit of paint and stenciling, bit of GLUE too, here's hoping that it works.

Here's hoping I have something to show tomorrow night
