Loving This Daily Journal Thing!

-


 



















This daily journaling was an idea put forward in Creative Crafty Friends on Facebook. It is difficult to find the time to do this every day but I am trying. Hahahaha! Just doing the days I can. This page was for the 24th of January. It was a freezing cold day and we stayed home. Those are gelli prints in the background. I made them using the gel printing plate from Gelli Arts. The steampunk cat is a digital image I downloaded and colored with Copics. Nothing fancy. The tile is Bristol Illustration paper from Hahnemühle. I colored it with Ecoline Brush Pens than tangled it using paradox. I don't use that pattern often because it confuses me. 


This is how I set up my tile to tangle. Eight equal-ish sections and I tangled paradox in each section. I did one side going in one direction, then changed the direction for the other side. Thinking it would make the sides look different. It did not. At all. Hahahaha! I love how it turned out. 








January 25th page. Gelli prints in the background and a digital image for the girl. The dragon came to me in a swap - I can't recall who sent it - sorry. I am trying to use my Zig Clean Color Dot pens on every page. They are so easy to use and make great little added details. 








January 26th page. The background pieces are gelli prints - one that turned out super! The text block is a bit of Dylusions ink sprayed on some Bristol from Hahnemühle. The deer is a digital image I downloaded. And I've missed the last couple days. We were out of town one day and yesterday I decided I needed to reorganize all my color in the studio. What a silly idea! Hahahahahaha! Anyway - I hope you have a great rest of your week!

    Hope you didn't get lost amid all the colour - mammoth job I'd have thought. I love that Paradox tile - I'll have to give this a go & work out the direcctional effects.......... hmmmm that will be a challenge but I cannot see it so will have to actually do it physically!! That deer certainly got himself camouflaged midst all those blossoms.

      I like the way paradox looks when complete but it really is a challenge for me

    Fabulous art pages! I find Paradox confusing, too!

      I had to keep telling myself "take off slim and stop wide" over and over and over

Dream It and Do It!

  If you can dream it - you can do it! Wise words to remember and live by. Quick post here just to share this daily journal page I made a few days ago AND to give you some news about the new book. First though - this journal page.  Like always I am working in my Harmony hot pressed journal from Hahnemühle . I love it. Sometimes I do one day on a page like this one. Sometimes I split the page in half and use it for two days. The little Hedwig-Gryffindor-wannabe is a drawing by Chris Ryniak that I colored to look like a Harry Potter character - Hedwig, Harry's owl. The background is bits and pieces of scraps from a number of projects. Some of the tangled blocks are from Octangling this past year and one is from a page I made for the Tangle It! Coloring Book several years ago.  Tangle All Around: Our Art, Our Journey is already available at these Amazon locations online. Amazon.in  and amazon.nl carries it as well since I saved this screen shot.  Ta-da!!! Thank you so much to eve

Tangled Dragonflies All Around

What do steampunk and dragonflies have in common? Tangle All Around! Hahaha! My tangling Facebook group called Tangle All Around is providing the art today. In June and July we are working with patterns that go well with steampunk art. Don't like steampunk? That's alright, too. These patterns will work in your regular tangle routine as well.  I provided a dragonfly template to the group and asked them to tangle it using any of the steampunk patterns they wanted to and I welcomed them to use any other tangles they needed. This is the dragonfly I made using some of the patterns from week one. This is the template I gave the group. Some people printed it out and tangled, and some people free-handed the template and went from there. Let me show you the beautiful art my talented group made. You can click on any of the photos to see them larger.  Artist is Aga Forra.  Artist as Amy Heather.  Artist is Ana Maria Migone.  Artist is Anita Sinha.  Artist is Betsy Ritz-Frith.  Artist is B

Octangling, 2020 Has Begun

  That post title is a way hopeful statement. Hahahahahaha! I haven't even started my first day tile yet and the day is over half way done. I have too many things I am trying to do all at once. But. Octangling for this year has begun in my Facebook group Tangle All Around . And I am already seeing some lovely pieces of art! You may be asking . . . what is Octangling. I am glad you asked. There is a young man who started an event years ago he dubbed Inktober. Every October he encourages people like you and me to draw something every day during the month. Nothing fancy, nothing we can't all do. And he gives a prompt for each day to give you an idea of what to draw. Our FB group has participated the past 3 years using a list of tangles I give them. This year I hesitate to use his name for the project because he is suing a lot of people and companies for selling pieces of art they made during his monthlong project. So. No more using that name, tanglers. From here on out we are call
