Hi Everyone! I'm back! That head cold knocked me sideways! It's left me with a bit of a cough, but I'm much better.
I felt well enough yesterday, to decorate some teabags for week 16 of ihanna's 365 Somethings challenge. I used a small round Gel Press plate, with punched shapes and the waste, sequin waste and some old Claudine Hellmuth paints that hadn't solidified (I've had them years!!) I had fun building the layers, then used a journaling pen to outline the leaves.
Next I made a page in my journal for my Recycle & Collage challenge at Art Journal Journey. I'd been stamping my little round gelli plate off on this page to build up a background. I'd also decorated some other teabags to use. I was using an old envelope as under paper, and this came in handy for the collage strips and circles. I finished with some marks, journaling, and a phrase that appeared in my head.
I'm hoping to finally enjoy the sunshine this afternoon, before it goes away.
Happy Sunday,
Alison xox
Once again, I am in awe of those gorgeous teabags. You don't seem to be slowing down on those and I am truly impressed with the clever ideas you come up with each week. They are super again this week.
ReplyDeleteI also adore the journal page you created for your theme this month at Art Journal Journey. The used teabags, the used envelope, and your doodles all add up to a fabulous entry, dear.

Glad your feeling a little better now Alison, hopefully you have seen the worst of it and it's taken the exit closing the door firmly behind itself. Love those decorated teabags and your journal page with the small round Gelli Circle stamp offs, it's a super invention that wee one is!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your evening.
