WISH --- Art Journal Page

yesterday was the first art journaling class of 2018 :)

I worked up this page before hand as a sample.




It's my take on the use of your junk drawer / left over / scraps cups! It really is a fun and super diverse technique that seems to have taken the industry by storm. My take is a bit more subdued than the way some of the other artists use it. Anyways!! watch the video, followed by closeup shots & my remade during class. :)

& then I decided to just have fun and layer things up >>> try a different combo etc in the remake during class. I love the color combo & am playing with the idea of adding in some black and a metallic for a more victorian/steampunk feel :




Some different sized paper clips, a grommet, a ruined needle threader... I love how the drywall tape looks & i'm a HUGE fan of the chunky chevron and those brads that act as a design element between the valleys of the chevron.



Always loads of stars for me... i LOVE stars. anything celestial makes me happy. & the hanging bulb was really fun to throw into the mix, too.



One of my FAVORITE parts is tucking doilies & flatter texture pieces on the bottom layer... then when the colors are spread all over it, the shadows become prominent & the highlights are accented.. YUM!




These little circles between the triangles are pieces of lego! hahaha... my friend Shelly brought them to class and was sharing :) The triangle pieces come out of the Penny Farthing's wheel.
