Art Journal Junkie October 2022 - Day 7

Day 7 of 31 days of Art Journaling with Art Journal Junkie Facebook Group!

So we have 3 colours: Purple, Green and Teal

An Affirmation Quote: I am a magnet for miracles

An element: Feathers

Back to my acyclic paints and a feather stencil.

Bit of water mixed in to make my splashes - lol, as well as everywhere within a metre space!

My bird is from Art by Marlene's Paper Elements Lime Collection with a bit of Tim Holtz washi tape to ground her.

Lastly I used my black Aquarellable Pencil to give the bird shadows.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Perspective

Here is my Junk Journal layout for the Perspective Challenge over with Michelle's Creative Warriors. 

Using Michelle Grant Design's Perspective files, I printed the collage sheet on tissue paper and adhered to my right page. I used black and white gesso first to line my page.

My sketch I have used the black Aquarellable pencil with a aqua water brush on my brown wrapping paper page. I also used a black uni-pen to write my little journal of what was going through my mind.

"Nothing is black and white anymore!

The world has changed forever and

will never be the same as it was!

Breathe, Be Kind, Love yourself!"

I like the girl trapped in the eye and filling the page, as working in aged care, we have to wear these masks all the time and it must be so scary for a lot of the elderly not having family visiting and us with our masks on and at times face shields as well telling trying to do their cares and assist them. I think we should have a party when we can not have to wear these. In addition, we are all double vaccinated and still under same restrictions as when it first started and no-one was. Anyway, that's a conversation for another day! 

I made this junk journal in March last year and put two signatures in it - this is now the first one finished! Feels good, and hopefully won't take as long to do the next one.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Botanical

I'm on a roll with my #MondayPromptProject catch up!

LOL, now that I say it I probably won't do anymore for a week or two!

Next on my list is Botanical, and I watched the video and then got to drawing.

I used my Black Aquarellable pencil with a aqua water brush.

Grabbed my Neo II Crayons and got my background down.

My Botanical is flower stickers from my planner stash - these are from Planners Anonymous.

Quite peaceful I think.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Space/Galaxy

Ok, another month of trying to blog everyday ...... I failed it last time, got close (I think) but not everyday.

I started this Space/Galaxy prompt 2 days ago for #MondayPromptProject - yes, it's taken me 3 days to do it, but I did have the interruption of work. 

Not complaining with so many in lockdown and not having jobs to go to.

 

I sketched my funky moon and astronaut first, then got some water inks out and created my galaxy.

Then some acrylic paints for my moon and astronaut. My black Aquarellable pencil for shading and all done.

I love how it turned out - only another 10 or so prompts to catch up!

So all going well, I will check in tomorrow with something to share......

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Wonder

This week #MondayPrompt Project is all about handwriting.

Mine is not the neatest or appealing, but this weeks class is great as you get to smudge and hide some of it!

I used my Neo II Crayons and Black Aquarellable pencil by Stabilo for my background, writing and drawing.

A page from an old novel and black gel pen.

I had a lot of fun creating this layout and love the outcome.

I have missed some of the weeks, but I do make the effort to create the ones that appeal to me. I might do the others at a later date if I have the time......we are all  time poor these days that is for sure!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Pray for India

#MondayPromptProject is grungy this week.

I created my collage background and got my black Aquarellable Stabilo Pencil out ready to create some magic..

All I could think was drawing a masked face praying for India and a stop to the alarming rise in Covid-19 cases and deaths. 

I work with people from a lot of Nationalities, but a lot more of them are from India and the pain they are enduring watching from a far and feeling helpless is heart breaking. Many have family members that have the infection, some have members that have passed and there is not a thing they can do...

So much pain and suffering all around the world at the moment.

The best thing we can do is be there in the moment with our friends and colleagues, to be that ear to listen to and comfort in these very trying times.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!
