Art Journal - Raining On Sunday

Like I said a few weeks ago, I've been taking an Art Journaling class at Entreartistes. I've been done with this project for more than a week but the journal I made was meant for a close friend's birthday and since she's reading this blog, I didn't want to spoil the surprise. Finally today she received it so I can now share some pictures of the final result with you.


All the pages and the covers where made independently on some heavy watercolor paper before being assembled into a book form with some double tape and some kraft cardstock pieces to link the pages between them.


I took the pictures of the individual pages before assembling them into a book, but they are exactly like in the final result. The journaling is just the lyrics of a song by Keith Urban.

Art Journal - Dreams

For the NSD, Nine published a tutorial for an art journal page involving watercolor inks and stamps. I really loved the result so I had to give it a try. I'm kind of happy with the result, at least enough to share, which is something.

My first try at art journaling

A few weeks ago I made a tentative at making an art journal page. I've been wanting to make an art journal for quite a while now, but I keep procrastinating on it for a very stupid reason... I have a hard time dealing with the fact that the result won't look like the perfect plan in my head. That it might come out messy, fucked up and might still look ok but not exactly what I had in mind. It's like some kind of OCD with being really one. Anyway, enough ranting, here's the result.


I see a million things in that page that could have turned better or that slightly annoys me, but overall I like the result even if it feels a bit incomplete. 


The most important part is that I had fun playing around with my supplies to make this page, and I definitely want to make more. I signed up for a class at Entreartistes taught by Pretty Arty. It's half way through and so far I like it a lot, but since we haven't produced anything "complete" yet, I'll probably share here later if I like the final result.

Until then, have a nice week end everyone :)

Some random ATCs

I haven't been much creative in the past days (and I need to catch up with the 52 weeks of drawings) so I don't have much to share. Instead, I decided to share a few ATCs I made lately for swaps on swapbot.


That one was made for the "Places of the world - England" series. 


The theme was "Let it Rain".



And finally those two were made for the Book Page ATC swap.
