 Hello again.

I'm here to share my final pages for Michelle & Tamara's Art Journal Advent challenge. Better late than never 😁

Get a cuppa, it's a longish post for me!

Day 17 - Fearless. 

I'm linking this page to Mia's Use A Photo theme at Art Journal Journey.

Day 18 - What can you let go of?

Day 19 - Home.

Another page for Art Journal Journey.

Day 20 - Magical.

Day 21 - Balance.

Day 22 - Freedom.

Day 23 - All that I am.

Day 24 - My word of the year.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and look at my art.

Art Journal Advent Days 11-16

Hello Everyone.

I have a few more pages to share, that I've created for Michelle & Tamara's Art Journal Advent.

Day 11 - Your greatest gift of 2022. Definitely being able to see more of my family. Our daughter moved into her new home in June, and we've been to stay with her a few times since. She's very excited to be hosting us and her brother this Christmas.

 Day 12 - Simplify. 

An abstract snowy woodland walk for Jo's Snowy Winter theme at Art Journal Journey.

Day 13 - Self-confidence. Just a fun abstract collage. :-)

Day 14 - Building Castles in the Air. Do you recognise a couple of my collage fodder watercolour pieces from earlier in the year?

Day 15 - Vulnerability. Bees and hedgehogs are on the danger list, and I used some fragile teabag papers.

I always put out some water in case a hedgehog passes by, but I've sadly never seen one in our garden.

Day 16 - Unfiltered. Struggled with this prompt, so I just threw a bit of collage down, and a watercolour butterfly I created earlier this year.

Thanks for visiting today.

Care December 2022

 Hello All! I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

I'm joining in with two Advent challenges at the moment, Art Journal Advent that I shared yesterday, and also Kasia's Care December 2022. This is another challenge with daily prompts to get you thinking and creating.

I made a junk journal for the challenge, this one's about 7x7", with pages of different sizes. I like to use recycled packaging for my covers, and a few other recycled collage materials.

Here are my first week's pages.

Day 1 - Good Intentions.

Day 2 - The Harbour.

Day 3 - The Blank Space.

Day 4 - Grow and Heal.

Day 5 - Cleansing.

Day 6 - The White Unicorns.

Day 7 - Love Letter.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me.

Art Journal Advent 2022

Happy Saturday Everyone!

To keep myself motivated in December, I've joined in with a couple of Advent art challenges on Instagram. One of these is Michelle and Tamara's Art Journal Advent 2022. There are daily prompts to get you thinking and creating. I try to spend about 30 minutes or less on a page.

I first created a little junk journal. It's about 6x6", and the pages are smaller and different sizes.

 And here are the first 10 pages. I wrote the prompt on each page, hopefully it is legible.

Oops! I just realised I didn't write the prompt on my last page. The prompt for Day 10 is 'YES'. 

Some of my pages are looking a bit snowy with the white ink splatters, so I hope I can qualify to join in with Jo's Snowy Winter theme at Art Journal Journey. I hope I haven't broken any rules. I nominate my Day 6 page for the theme, I think the little girl is looking out of her window at the snow ;-)

Apologies for the very long post.

Thanks for visiting,

Alison
