Happy Happy Thursday My Dear Sweet Friends
I don't know about you but I am so ready for the weekend. I am hoping to have plenty of time to create and maybe even take a nap. What about you? What are your weekend plans?
I have been working on my first Art Journal Page and I am so delighted to be finished. I actually have my first two page done but still have many empty pages to fill up.
It was fun and yet stressful because it felt like no matter what I did - I just couldn't get everything I wanted to use to fall into place. As usual I was worried I would do something to mess it all up but when I made a mistake - I just used more Gesso. How cool is that? I find it so liberating.
I am so thrilled at finally starting my personal Art Journal and I am really looking forward to all the different pages I will be creating and the finished journal as well.
I used a lot of different techniques in creating this page. I have a list with everything written down and as soon as I get my mess cleaned up I will come back and post everything I used. And that includes all the copics colors too.
(Update October 1st - I actually put everything away and threw out the sheet of paper with all the Copic colors I used as well as my other project notes. Man oh man do I feel horrible).
The image I used is one I commissioned with Betty, owner of Simply B Stamps. She actually made two images for me. This one of me as a fairy and the other of me as a police officer. I just love her creations. I will be sharing my police officer art page as soon as I am finished.

ReplyDeleteThe house on Fairy Lane :) This is so cute. I love the flowers and the patterns on the "Landing Pad" with our beautiful fairy flying in after a long day of spreading happiness and fairy dust.
ReplyDeletebeautiful Laine - love the textures and your use of colours. Lots of great details. Judy
