He(Art) Journal Project #2

-


 














This week has been all about the 5 Day Heart Art Journal Challenge with Tracy Weinzapfel. What a fun class! Here you can see both the projects I made featuring hearts and red. Two of my most not favorites. Hahahaha! But I do love how my projects turned out and I will be making these again. Just in different colors. 


In yesterday's post I showed you the first project. Today let's look at our second project. Again, this is a paid class, one of the ways Tracy makes her living. I can not give you the detailed step by steps. You need to take the class to get those. I can tell you the background is watercolor. The heart is acrylic. 

When I cropped the photo, I left the spiral showing. I wanted to tell you about this Grumbacher Watercolor book. Look at the perforations. See how they are open on the side? Each of these pages can be removed from the book so you can work without the hassle of the book being attached to your page. Then the pages pop right back into the journal for safe keeping. Pretty cool, yes? 




Though I don't like the red, I really do like the black on red. And you can see my splatters got a little crazy. Hahahaha!











Can you spot the differences from last photo to this one? Not just the darkening of negative space but check out those corners. I could have gone a little heavier handed but I wasn't sure. A little outside my comfort zone. Hahahaha!










And the final with the tape removed. I really love how it turned out! Red heart and all. I need to invest in a few more word stamps, though. And up next I am going to try this out on an ATC. To see if I can downsize the whole process. 

Tracy's class and video lessons are still available until the end of March. If you are interested just click here to get the information for the 5 Day Heart Art Journal Challenge. 

And NEWS FLASH! I joined Tracy's Tribe! Enrollment in her year long art journal group is only open for one week. Need more information on that? Click here. 

OK, the ads are done for the day. Time to get back to making art. <3

    Again the white is beautifully effective - especially love it on your word. The white penwork echoes your splatters nicely too. Those large flowers look super squashed into the heart & I do like the fact that they've got different shaped petals. The negative space filling is very powerful & I like your subtle corner shading, think you were right to stop there. As for the gorgeous colours of the background - very striking against the red & black.

ICAD (Index Card a Day), June 1 - 5, 2024

  Each year during the months of June and July, Tammy Garcia (Daisy Yellow) sponsors an event she named ICAD. Stands for index card a day . The thought is each day for 61 days you create some art on an index card. Any kind of art. Any size index card. Any medium. In Facebook group Tangle All Around I encourage our members to give ICAD a try. I am working with 4" x6" index cards. If you don't have any you can cut your own from the paper you like to work with. For all 61 days I give a tangle prompt.  For June 1st, day #1, we used 4C Ruiten designed by Nicole Dreyer. My card for the day can be seen above. I love using color and lately I love working with Krista Leigh Smith 's drawings that I can color with my Copic markers. The longest part of this card was the actual tangling of 4C Ruiten.  Day #2: the tangle for June 2nd was Beadles designed by Crystal Paul. To be honest, I didn't really care for the tangle at first. Even though I am the one who selected all the p...

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 Rit...

ICAD, Days 11 - 30

  ICAD - or Index Card a Day - is over now. Every year it runs during the months of June and July and we participate in Tangle All Around .  Art on an index card. Any kind of art but in TAA I specifically ask them to use a tangle. And each day I give them a tangle to use.  Since I did chemo I just don't have the urge to make art. Of any kind. I have to make myself sit down and create. I found that working on this index card size of 4" x 6" worked for me. And I did great during June. I honestly have no idea what happened in July. But I do want to get back to making these cards AND I can use them on my daily journal pages. You know - those pages I do about once a month. The story of my life. Let me show you my rest of June ICADS.  The tangle for June 11, 2024, was Yuma. It was deconstructed (or designed) by Tina-Akua Hunziker, CZT.  Here is my 11th card. I used a gel print background - I love those colors so much! If you look closely you will see that I did not in...
