Head on over to the blog on Monday to check out the entire post.

Until next time.........

New Art Journal Page

It has been a little while since I have had time to create something, between myself being sick and having sick kids I have not had a lot of free time.

But.........all that changed today!

After some much needed tidying of my craft room I managed to sit down and create a page in my art journal. I have changed things around a little as I have been having a lot of trouble finding a journal that can take the weight of all the media that I use and lately I have really liked using lots of embellishments.

Because of this the books I have used tend to become quite bulky and will not hold lots of layers. So I have gotten myself a wire bound sketch book and I am creating my pages on heavy weight cardstock and then mounting them into the sketch book.

So without further ado..............

Materials Used:

- Kaszazz SB Essentials 12x12 Cardstock (White)

- Kaszazz Leonardo Stamp

- Tim Holtz Decorative Strip Die (Tattered Banners)

- Metal Embelishments (Gears and Flourish)

- Distress Ink (Vintage Photo)

- Distress Paint (Tumbled Glass)

- Recollections Flowers (Blue)

- Prima Marketing Gem Flourish

- My Minds Eye Cowboy 6x6 Paper Pad

- Old Book Pages

- Crafter's Workshop 12x12 Stencil (Ledger)

-Kraft Cardstock

-Tim Holtz Tiny Tabs and Tags Die

- Ranger Archival Ink (Black)

- Glossy Accents

This is by no means a complete list of materials as I have a feeling that I have forgotten something, but at this stage I cannot think what it could be.

One last thing before I go, I just have to say that I really love the blue/brown colour combination and I seem to really use it a lot in my artwork.

Well thats all from me for now, keep a look out for another creation very soon!

Art Journal Pages.........

I am getting a lot better at this Art Journal / Mixed Media thing. I mean up until recently my work has been a bit mediocre at best, but with practice, persistance, and finnally the right gesso, things haveimproved alot. Not to the point of professionalism but close enough..........

Here are a couple of double spread pages that I have recently completed........ 

So just a short post today, I am working on something really good and I plan to upload a few progress pictures of a new creation.

Also I have a new tutorial to post, about creating your own spray alcohol inks.........

So keep checking back for that one..........
