#artjournalcaravan #artjournalemporium
I am having an amazing time with the return of the Art Journal Caravan on the Art Journal Emporium. I have heard about it from friends who participated in previous years, but with the return this year it's my first time here. I have managed to do a journal page every week of Jan, some are for the weekly itineraries, some have been from the Art Journal Pockets challenges and some from the monthly Art Journal Emporium challenges. There is even prizes for some of these challenges so you might want to check it out and the goodies available at Tangie Baxters store
 
Now on with my Itinerary 4 in Art Journal Caravan and Journal 52 week 5  challenge psychedelic. I used Rebecca Uncaged  paper 3, Tangie's collage sheets 1 and 5 from the Jan grab bag. The face is from Practically Imperfect, the 6 month loyalty bonus. I did the thinking deeper to express my step to following my goals and intentions lisited in AJP Goals challenge. Then I stamped the flowers and coloured them and the triangles with Potfolio pastels and pearlescent watercolours.

This is my journal spread for AJC itinerary 3 and Journal52 week 4 Full Moon. I used vintage music paper with a fox and goose illustration on it, but missed the lace. I have also included the quote from itinerary 3. I painted the background with gesso and acrylics, used stencils to wipe off some of the paint. My moon is painted with acrylic paint and has a bit of iridescent medium around the edge. The girl image is Carson from a digital kit by Rebecca McMeen.

I used challenge 1 and 2 from the Art Journal Emporium for my journal spread. It also fits in with the itinerary 1 of the Art Journal Caravan.  All of the elements except the washi tape and stenciling is from the Jan. grab bag and bonus items from Jan. in the Art Journal Emporium I have included my intention (word) of the year "heal" and 6 words to explore becoming uncaged.  My word "Heal" was stamped on the page and on a teabag fabric which was glued over the page. fly and unleashed was painted with pearlescent watercolour. The journal spread also fits the Journal 52 Week 1 challenge for Word of the year "Heal"

My Birds before trading
These are all of my birds for our ATC group bird swap on Sunday, Jan. 17.
They are about 10 and a half inches tall. Mine are fabric over felt and cardboard, with bead stitched eyes and legs. I used fabric samples rescued from possible trash and remnants and rubber stamped various stamps on parts of the birds. I also coffee stained most of the beaks and wings. I crocheted small hearts with cotton thread and stitched them on the back. Some of the fabric is printed with a stencil on the Gellie plate. Most of the ones I got back in trade are paper over cardboard.
It was a great make and trade day and I got a lovely collection of birds back from the other members of the group.
I have added this post to the Lets Play link party on A Colorful Journey.

Journal 52 Week 3

1/20/2016

The challenge for week 3 over on Journal 52 was a prompt  to do a David Bowie lyrics and the alternate prompt is your favourite lyrics. I chose to do Space Oddity by David Bowie and Chris Hadfield. For my background I spread gesso on the pages, then used a bondo spreader to scrape black, blue, turquoise and iridescence acrylic paint over the page and then stenciled a city skyline on the bottom. The photos and lyrics were done digitally and glued on.

Christmas Book

Near the end of December Tangie Baxter posted a video instructions and collage sheets in the Art Journal Emporium and I just couldn't wait to get started. I made my book pages with 140lb. watercolour paper to finish at 4 in. by 6 in. and stitched with butchers twine. I used parts of the collage sheets for some of the pages and Quitfire Design stamps to embellish the pages. Some of the other pages have watercolour backgrounds and collage images or stamped images. I am so proud to announce that my project was selected to be featured on Tangie Baxter's blog

Owls Of Winter ATCs

1/5/2016

4 Comments

 
I worked on ATCs for the Jan swap and my idea happens to work for Carolyn Dube's January challenge to use something that would be thrown away. I used a bunch of stuff that might normally be thrown away. I started with owls from the candy cane package and used other parts of the packaging for backgrounds. I also used ribbon, "snowball beads", and pieces of the hat from Christmas crackers. The hat is the silver bits run through an embossing folder. The white paint was applied with a blob of hot glue I used as a stamp from a fabric sample book I took apart. The white dots were added with a Sharpie paint pen and I I added some washi tape to some of the cards.
