Today is all about bits and pieces because that’s what I found when I came
out of bed this morning!
This is what my window-sill looked like!
Little bits and pieces of projects I started yesterday.
What you see here (the card on the right) is called “Zentangling”
and I read about it on my friend Patty’s blog “Magpie’s Nest”
I’m not yet satisfied with the result, so I don’t know it this “cowgirl card”
will appear in my gallery, but it is fun to “doodle” with my black marker and
I have plans adding a little bit of colour… we’ll see where this may lead.
And this here
is Sophia Loren.
I transferred a pic
onto a card (using
gel medium) but it
looks just like
the original photo
– nothing special –
and the one I
transferred onto
a red spayed card
(see big photo)
didn’t turn out
nice either.
So she lays in my
window-sill, and I
don’t know what to
do with her – yet.
More gel medium transfers lay waiting on the sideboard this morning.
I transferred two pictures on to cloth yesterday – just trying it out.
It’s my intention to use one or two of these in my “Artful Ramblings”
journal for “A Year in the Life of an Art Journal”.
The latest prompt is the word “Unknown” and the technique that comes
with the prompt is to sew on your page.
Here’s my journal, the pieces of cloth and a postcard – the start of
a new art journal page.
I like this transfer… it’s an ultrasound picture of my son and you
can see his head (right), his chest (left) and a little hand/fist.
I used to work on one page/layout at a time but since I started
working with gel medium, paint, gesso and all that stuff that needs
to dry I started working on several different projects at one time.
And now I got to choose… what will I start working on today?
Maybe this…???
And what are your plans this weekend?
Something creative?
Whatever of the above projects I will work on today, I hope to show you
at least one finished soon! (Which one would you like me to finish first?)
Have a nice weekend,
Je t’embrasse!
