I'm too busy having fun to notice your grass!

Week 6: Something I Feel Strongly About

Directly in my journal

Gessoed both of the pages with Daler Rowney Gradute Gesso (let dry)

Applied a coat of Liquitex Matte Gel over the whole page

Adhered journal card (not sure where it came from - I have a ton) & scraps of Tim Holtz idea-ology tissue wrap

Applied a second coat of Liquitex Matte Gel over the whole page (let dry)

Used Derivan Matisse acrylic paint in Cerulean Blue & Cobalt Teal (squirted it on the page & painted it on 3/4 Plaid One Stroke Flat brush) 

Pulled paint back off the page using a paper towel (you can't really see it in the picture)

Dropped bits of Golden acrylic in Iridescent Silver and smudged those in using fingers (except the butterfly got a heavier coat)

Writing "find your wings and..." written with uni-ball Signo "FLY" used Making Memories chipboard letters as a stencil & filled in with Painters white paint marker

Edging was done with Martha Stewart Crafts glitter stamping kit (minus the glitter) and Ranger Archival Ink jet black.

I may go back and add some detail work once it is totally dry.

Week 5: An Artist Is

Canson Mix Media Journal (wanted this one larger than my journal journal allows for)
My Studio paint - Bright Yellow & Kings Gold (background)
Bubble Stencil with a baby wipe to make the background interesting (FYI the bit of greenish in the background came off the stencil)
Zig Calligraphy pen in black for the wording & the bubbles.

Based off the ~Chronicles of the heART~ prompt for the week.

Week 4: Here we go round the May Pole..

Half sheet Canson Watercolor paper
Derivan Matisse acrylic paint in cobalt teal
Dyan Reaveley Dylusions Stencil Flower Medley (used in reverse with a baby wipe)
May Pole & Flower Basket - Craft paper, scrap ribbons, flowers cut from scrapbook paper
Lettering done with a Bic MarkIt

Based off the ~Chronicles of the heART~ prompt for the week.

Week 3: When I Grow Up

It's a simple tippin for my all around journal/planner/mixed media

The layouts will hopefully get more expansive as I readjust to working in 

smaller spaces :)

Based off the ~Chronicles of the heART~ prompt for the week.

Week 1: My Heart Map

So this entry was completed using:

 Strathmore Watercolor paper, 

The Fine Touch gouache paints, 

Black & Red Sharpie Marker

Black Pilot G7 Pen

Drew out the heart & then sectioned it off.

Painted each section using different shades of red & techniques.

Listed off all the people, places & things that make me happy.

Attempted a bit of zentangle form within the heart sections.

Outlined the heart with a black sharpie.

And then finally background filled in with Prussian Blue.

Based off the ~Chronicles of the heART~ prompt for the week.

Week 2: What does it mean to be yourself
