Creating in Faith - Word for the Week - Profound
It is great to share this weeks episode of my Realityarts Podcast. Every Monday we have a series called Creating in Faith - which looks at a weekly word and the need for us to create on a daily basis regardless to how we feel as being creative impacts on our health and wellbeing in a positive way. You just have to find the way that suits you best.
Creating a Fabric Art Journal Page
When I am sewing I save all of the fabric scraps. No smaller than say an inch in size. There are so many things that you can do especially if you have amassed a large amount. Usually what I will do is stitch them into some small wall hangings or art pieces and they can often go to make quite larger pieces of art.

Art Journal Flip Through - Recycled Tin
It is fairly straight forward to create if you want to create one for yourself. This tin held 6 Water soluble crayons and measures approximately 5 x 6. You get to see a flip through of the art journal at the end of the video.
After covering the tin with masking tape I created some texture by adding gesso through a stencil onto the surface. I did this to both the front and back and once dried painted with acrylic paint.
To the inside of the I added masking tape and painted then cut collaged water color paper or you can use card to fit on the inside of the tin. This is applied using a glue gun.
I added words using a white marker on the front and made additional markings with the glue gun.
