Alice Hendon, Artangleology

You know I liked to daily journal before I got sick last year. I actually have books that are filled with art from sticking to that one thing each day. Since I finished chemo I just haven't felt like doing much art at all. Like none. But recently I have started working in these fun books again. Sometimes with brand new art, some times using pieces of art I made before being sick. The two smaller pieces are from Octangling, 2022. The block at the bottom with the baubles pieces is part of a coloring book page I drew for Tangle It! Coloring Book several years ago. The cute little Hogwart's Hedwig owl is a drawing of Chris Ryniak that I colored.  The background color is Ranger's Distress Inks rubbed on with blending brushes. The other color strips are random bits of this and that left over from other projects. The sticker sentiments in this and the photo above came from my Erin Condrin planner. These first two sets of pages are in my Harmony hot pressed journal from Hahnemühl...

  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!!! Than...

  It has been awhile since I posted. I am doing well and have tested cancer-free twice now. Still having problems with concentration and staying focused on whatever task is at hand. I plan on talking with the oncologist at my appointment next week to see if he can help me with that. In the meantime, I wanted to share some daily journal pages I was able to put together and a couple art journal spreads I am sharing with a friend. This page above used some bits and pieces and scraps from various projects I did in the past. The tag came from Beth Broadway and she also drew the pink haired girl and turned it into a sticker. The hand painted flowers down the middle came from Rachel Foster. I like to save art from my friends on my daily pages - that way I will always be able to find them and enjoy them.  This page is from back in November. I hope one day to get my life back together again where I can make art and post on a regular basis. The little critters are Chris Ryniak art that ...
