Does your layout ever fail?
Just curious… ’cause although I have “better” and “worse” layouts,
I almost never feel my layout failed completely –
but this week, I did!!!
I promised you a page for my Leonard Cohen art journal (I was half way
when I said that) but…. the page failed miserably!
It was too bad to show, really… so I TORE IT APART!
And look what happened…
Remember the “to do list” at the end of my former post?
I didn’t do ONE thing from that…
Instead, I decided to focus on the ATC-bags and get them all done before
the weekend so that the sewing machine could be stored upstairs again.
For those
of you
who haven’t
seen the first
“ATC-pouch”
here it is…
I made this
little bag
last week to
store my
“to trade”
ATC cards.
..and having fun!
Yep, that’s me these past days!
I did all kinds of different things…
Alice in Wonderland keeps popping up on several blogs due to the movie,
and you all know that I’m in love with Alice since I participated in the
“Alice Journal Swap” (Haven’t seen the movie yet – it’s released this week
in the Netherlands – but I’m going to see it with my son soon!)
Anyway, I had Alice in mind when I started playing in my art journal…
I like this “writing a blog post on Friday” ritual (#12 already!) in which I
show you some random art, share my thoughts, show you things I did the
days before or just ramble a bit before the weekend starts.
Today it’s all about my own work.
It’s a grey day over in the Netherlands and the rain comes pouring down…
but it doesn’t bother me much. I feel fine!
After four weeks of “Letting it Loose in my Workshop” the ladies in the
group are still very enthusiastic and it warms my heart and makes me happy!
Because of the shout outs on all their blogs, I got several others asking for this
workshop and so I’m glad to inform you that
the online workshop “Let it Loose” will start again on May 3 and a
new online workshop “A Creative Art Journey” will start on May 7.
Registration is now open and you can find all info in the shop on my website.
I finally finished the art journal page for “A Year in the Life of an Art Journal”
last week. Remember the gel medium transfer of the ultrasound photo of
my son which I transferred onto cloth? I used it!
Last week, I discovered “zentangling” (see former post) and I’ve been playing
with it all weekend. Man – I’m hooked! I made 4 ATC’s this weekend and I also
started a mini-journal to be filled with zentangled pages. I’m having a blast!
I’m also happy that I can do this in the evening. I stopped working on art
journals or scrappages at night because of the bad (yellow) lamps we have.
I mean, the lights we have in the evening are nice and cozy but not suitable to
work with colours. The pages always look different the next day so I stopped
working in my art journal in the evening (at least if there’s colour involved)
But these zentanglings are done with a black pen on white (or creme) so in
the evenings I zentangle away! It’s such a relaxing thing to do…
