Art Journal Page – Spring

IMG_3817With the daffodils  poking through the ground and warmer weather on the horizon I was feeling in a spring mood, so decided to create a pastel toned journal page in my small Dylusions journal.Layout 1

I’ve used up some papers and collage elements I’ve had kicking around in my stash for an eon and mostly used the English Cottage Artist Acrylic paints from IndigoBlu.com. All stencils and colours are listed on screen in the start to finish process video which you can watch by clicking the image above!

I hope you enjoy watching the process as much as I enjoyed creating this page!

Art Journal Page – Mission Inspiration – The Less He Spoke

IMG_2646

PETAINSTRUCTIONSToday I’m having a little bit of fun with Peta Thompson a fellow art journaler who lives in near Brisbane, Australia. Peta also has a YouTube Channel and blog. We’ve set each other a series of “Mission Impossible” style art journal prompts to see what we create and have filmed the process. It was quite a lot of fun to do. So here’s my journal page based on the 10 instructions given to me by Peta and the process video is below!

If you’d like to see what Peta has done with the instructions I set her, then click the link below to her video & YouTube channel “MissLadyPetals Creations”

Art Journal Page – Is it Art? – Video Hop

IMG_2479Once again I’m participating in another YouTube video hop. We’re hopping on a global scale with artists all over the world taking part. To join in and follow the hop simply click the first link in the description area of my YouTube video, then just keep on clicking the first link in each video’s description area and you’ll follow all the way. When you get back to me, you can hop on over to the second list and start a second journey around the world. There are some channels you may not have seen before and some you may already know, but as we all know the thrill is in the chase….!

Have a creative day!

Journal52 – Comfort Zone

IMG_2495

This page uses the Journal52.com WK33 Prompt of “Comfort Zone” So I go outside of mine and create a page on the fly with no real idea what I’m doing or what I want to achieve. All I have is some pre prepared print outs from my computer. I have captured my process on video for this page so you can watch how I put the page together if you wish.

Have a creative day

Art Journal Page – Autumn’s Fire

With the changing of the season, the colours of leaves on the trees start to turn to rust. I celebrate the colours of the Autumn season with this mixed media art journal page rich in Autumn’s golds, red, browns and oranges. The quote (paraphrased) is by Irish poet William Allingham.

You can watch my process from start to finish in the video link below.

I hope you have a creative day.
