August Art Journal Calendar

Hello Everyone. Happy August to you all.

Here's my art journal calendar spread for the new month.

I started with torn pieces of collage fodder that I recently made. I added some pieces of green crepe paper. Then I stamped the numbers with Prussian Blue acrylic paint, and the tiny circles with white acrylic and a piece of Lego.

On gessoed book pages, I stamped my hand-carved birds, stamped the titles with Darkroom Door Alphas & Numbers, and used a lid to stamp the journaling circles, added some splatters of Prussian Blue acrylic, then cut them all out and glued them to the pages.  



I'm linking my pages to Chris' When We Were Young challenge at Art Journal Journey. I got the Ornithology bug as a young teen, and used to head to the local woods early on a Saturday morning with my binoculars.

Before I go, here's my July calendar, with its windows all filled in.


Thank you so much for visiting. I'll be coming over to catch up with your blogs now. Blogger seems to have given up on sending notifications of anyone's posts now!

52 Weeks Art Journal - Week 48 - Roots

Hello Everyone.

Here is my week 48 page for Michelle/RaspberryBlueSky's 52 Weeks Art Journal Challenge. The theme for this page is 'Roots'.


 I started with a layer of collage and a light application of white acrylic paint, then I used a PaperArtsy Mini stamp 'La Porte Bleue' for my door, and sketched and painted the house and roots around it. It looks a tiny bit spooky, but that wasn't my intention.


I'm linking my page to Valerie's When one door closes, another one opens theme at Art Journal Journey.

Thanks for visiting.
