Art Journal Page - Cherish

This page was quick and easy. I found the page started but never finished. All I added was the hearts with modeling paste and when dry added Golden Fluid Acrylics and just let the paste soak up the color.  I found the word in my box of scraps and attached it. It's a weird color combination and I might have been able to do more but the colors threw me off.

Art Journal Page - The Ones You Can't See

I have been pulling out my rubber stamps lately and using them in my journals. I have so many stamps that I thought it was time to start using them again.

 

I love this quote - Sometimes the things that are most real are the ones you can't see.

So true! The mermaid is from Stampotique and the fish from Stampin Up.

 

The background was made with gesso, Liquitex Acrylic Inks and water. I used some scrap deli paper to stamp the mermaid, fish and tore the rest to glue on the page.

Perception and My Injured Arm

Hi Everyone! Just a quick post today. I pulled the muscles in my upper right arm and have been in lots of pain. The Orthopedist said it's just musclular and didn't do anything to my shoulder. I am right-handed to it's been hard not to use it. I work on a computer all day and by the time I can get home its pretty sore.  Thank goodness for pain patches! 

I've been taking it easy the last few days. At first I was stressed I couldn't do anything in my art room but then changed the way I was thinking. I have been using the time to read art books that I bought and never read. WOW I should have read them a long time ago.  With a list of ideas and techniques, I can't wait to get in there but I still have more books to read!!!

Perception!

Art Journal Play - Texture and more texture

The one thing I love about art journals is that there is no right or wrong way to use them. I've been playing with layering textures on the page. Here is a close up of this page. See all the layers of paints, dictionary paper and when I dried the paper with my heat gun I let it bead up for even more texture.

 

The rubber stamp I used is from Red Lead Paperworks. I stamped her on dictionary paper and then fussy cut. Isn't she cute?  This journal page is only the size of an ATC 2.5" x 3.5".
