40 Days of ... Art - Day 27 - Art Journal Page

Hello World,

Sharing pages from my art journal(s) is always very personal for me so I rarely post recent pages, today I want to show you a page I did way back but every time I see it still got it's powerful message that it was intended to have. Relax, don't forget to enjoy and relax and enjoy the journey.

Thank you for reading my blog and enjoy yourself.

40 Days of ... Art - Day 21 - Art Journal Page

Hello,

Art journal pages are not something I show often, because mostly when I make them it is very therapeutic and also something I consider as very private.

Yet I found in this series that I should at least put in one or perhaps a couple, but at least one Art Journal Page. And I found one in a page I did over a year ago when I was testing new stencils and stamps and I was inspired by the weather as well.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Louise Nelson

Louise Nelson her Jump Start inspired me to the following page.

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Nathalie Kalbach

The first page is an fight the resistance page, and I must say that even though I'm not a full time artist, I have moments that the resist-factor is playing too. When you had a long day at work and you say 'oh no not today...' and the next day you make just the same excuse. So the resist video spoke a lot to me. 

The video about Street art made me think about the graffiti that I see every day when I commute to work in the train. It is graffiti or even just paint on the grey concrete railway bridges, no beautiful designs, just raw text, names, emotions...

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Anna Björklund

A very inspiring Jump start about curves and repeating the same pattern again. 

I had a lot of fun playing around with it.

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Karen Grunberg

The Jump Start Tip from Karen Grunberg was about sitting @ your desk and getting your stuff out and starting to craft. 

So I got my Claudine Helmutt Studio Paints out and dit the background, I was so happy playing around with those paints again, and I totally love the effect of the background. Then I stamped it all over with this tiny rose stamp I had laying around on my craftdesk.  It gave this really fun looking wall paper effect. 

I found this cool picture in a magazine that I just had to use. And I finished it off with some basic prima flowers and some glass beads. 

I'm so glad with the result, I just adore it.

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Catherine Scanlon

The Jump Start of Catherine Scanlon was about Art Journaling, and that Inspired me to make this page. I may add some picture later on but as I don't have one that I feel should go at the page at this moment I'll leave it like that.

Creative Jump Start 2012 - Carmen Sanchez

 In January I did the Creative Jump Start, or rather I started, because I lost track pretty soon.

But now I'm picking up and continue with the project. I had some things made that weren't photographed, so I took care and will post them here the coming time.

This is what I made of the technique Carmen Sanchez showed. I had so much fun executing it.
