I found out about
Journal52 last week through
Willy Andersen. It's a FREE (love that!) online art journaling workshop that offers weekly prompts and tutorials through 2014. Last summer I started prepping a composition book with the idea that I would do some summer-specific art journaling. Ha! Never happened. So now my little set-aside-and-forgotten book will get some love.
This week's prompt is "up, up and away". Here are some process pictures on the way to my completed page.
 |
| A lot of these pages have random splats and dabs on them from other projects. |
 |
| First gesso then glued ripped pieces of a voters pamphlet that I use when spraying inks. |
 |
| Acrylic paint |
 |
| Phone book page that I had glued onto cardstock for another project. I've had a balloon template in my drawer for YEARS. Think I had only used it one other time but originally bought it when I first started scrapbooking. |
 |
| Randomly stenciled, splattered and blotted and then had a little therapy session with myself. |
 |
| This is it! I added some tissue paper clouds, washi tape, some wording around the balloons and a heading. |
Ta da! I hope I can keep this up for a whole year. It really was very therapeutic and relaxing. I'm adding this to the
'something new' challenge' over at Stampotique too. I scored persimmon distress paint over on Blitsy and it arrived the day before I made this (I used it on one of my balloons).
Cheers!
