Everything Art Update Continued

More experimenting with acrylics. The first was to paint with a brush using different colours to the object. The second was done by mixing heavy body gel with the paint to create texture, applying it using a palette knife.

Zentangling class with Beckah Krahula.

These are from the class delivered by Flora Bowley - Brave Intuitive Art. The first is on a large canvas and the others in art books.  The last one being my favourite was done with Dylusion paints which I found flowed easier to achieve my desired outcome.

 Book Prompt - My Past. Using some techniques from Dina Wakeley.

Everything Art - Week 12

Thought it was time I documented my Wanderlust journey which has been taking up a lot of my time to date. This has been an amazing experience and I have learned so much.

The above were from Suzani inspired art and taught by Kasia Krzyminska.

This project was for the February challenge and we had to use some inspiration from something in our house. I chose a dot painted cushion. With this I won the challenge and received a lovely package of Prima products.

Book Prompt - the bravest moment in my life.

Week 8 - Joanne Sharpe - Whimsical Wanderlust Lettering class.

Week 10 - this gorgeous journal under the instruction of Karen Michel - lots of fun using up old papers, cardboard and unfinished projects for pages,

Book Prompt - What I see in the Mirror, I am now getting more confident with lots of layers and not taking myself too seriously.

Another class from Kasia - using acrylics.

Time Goes By

It's the middle of March already, how time flies! This is my entry for the March Kraft Plus Challenge.
This month we were to use the following sketch for inspiration and add some hounds tooth. I have used the Magnolia Lane collection from Couture Creations and added a small touch of hounds tooth - hope you can see it.

And this is what I came up with. Hope you like it.

Return to Sender

This months Kraft challenge was all about postage. I am running very late with my entry so will update this blog later. Here is my entry - I made my own background paper!

Wanderlust Update

We are now up to week 7 in our year long art experience  Wanderlust  and it is certainly keeping me very busy and sometimes very stressed a I ponder over what to do and how to do it.
So this is what I have been up to.  Our journal exercise for week 6 was to write all over our page and the class was on Zentagling. I decided to combine the the two and complete my zentangling on my journal page and this is what I came up with. Note to self. Spend more time completing the zentangling tile exercise.The background was created using Dylusion paints applied with a baby-wipe, stencil and stamps.

So, this is what I have been up to this week. We have been experimenting with alcohol ink pens on velum. Our drawings have been inspired by "Suzani" designs. Some of these are to be torn up and pasted face down on the first layer of our project (Still to come) so here they are before this is done.

Vintage is Timeless

This is the sketch provided for the February Scrap the Boys Challenge.

I decided to be a little different by doing a vintage look which could be classed as feminine but I am happy with the outcome. Hope you like it.

and a close-up.
