Art Journal Page - Inspired, Material Mondays!

 Art Journal Page Process

Today I share an art journal page process as I do quite a bit of mark making on the page.  I had already created the face, which is something I do a lot in my journals, either fill up the pages with background color or faces until I am ready for them.

Material Inspired

One of the other things that I would like to get back to is working with fabric.  I like creating different activities that enable you to play with your supplies.  These spools have been wrapped in fabric and lace and I have added stitching and a variety of different fabrics together

I also found some beads and buttons that were in my overspill container and was able to use them.  The container holds all those elements that I haven't yet put away and so I would see what could be used on a project.

I managed to put together 3 spools that I can use in other projects.  It was really fun working on them.

What do you have on hand in your creative space that you can get to work on if you had limited time to create, you have to try and make time for your creative practice?

Stay blessed and be a blessing!

Art Bundle #6 is Coming Back on April 28 for 5 Days!

If you missed the Art Bundle #6 last November, you have one more chance starting on April 28th. This Art Bundles for Good will be offered one final time.

There are 105 art classes and resources worth more than $5000!  25% of the profits from the sale are going to Courageous Kitchen, a Bangkok based charity helping refugees. We’ve raised US$95,354 for charity so far. Visit the website to enter the Art Giveaway. Three lucky people will win the entire bundle of art resources!

My contribution to the Art Bundle for Good is my Online Course called Playing Card Art valued together at $45. I share how to turn large playing cards into works of art, and create a pocket in your art journal.

Creating smaller pieces of art can help with experimentation, with supplies and techniques and I always encourage people to try a technique more than once to see how different supplies react.

In my contribution I am also including a digital download bumper pack to use in art journals or creative projects. It is full of original mixed media art by me, shapes, mark making an color infuse the pages.

I hope you are able to take part in the giveaway it could be you!
