Simple Journeys: June 2015
http://simple-journeys.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
ICAD 2015, Cards 5 and 6. Card 5 is a little abstract. I drew from my journaling prompts box. The three cards were:. Do a monochromatic theme. Make lines with side of a credit card. This is what happened. Card 6 is inspired by my love of Chai tea. I stapled on a tea envelope and tag. The cup I drew and colored with watercolor pencils. The border is a Dylusions stamp. Links to this post. ICAD 2015, Cards 3 and 4. Continuing on with Cards 3 and 4. This one is stamps, watercolor pencils, white Signo pen.

The campground is called Piney Point. Perhaps these first couple of pictures will illustrate why. If this birdhouse seems okay to you, then your head may be a bit tilted. For the most part, Spring was just on the verge of bursting. Only a few trees had not yet sprouted a few green buds. And then there was this lovely lady, all pink and glamorous. I don't know what kind of tree this is, but the sweet fragrance was intoxicating! Next week: Saginaw, Texas. Links to this post. The view from our trailer door.

Sometimes it is more important to just do something, anything, to just move forward rather than getting all tangled up in preconceived notions of perfection. Once you know who you are and own it, you rob the sting from those who would be your critics. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

For Janice, the Collector of Clouds. I took these for you. Links to this post. We had the opportunity to spend a week camping with my parents recently. For those following along, you may recall the little run down. I had with a certain sunset. The pictures below are some I took at a more leisurely pace another day. Cold, juicy grapes so crisp they snap in your teeth like twigs. Chilled caramel-filled chocolate cups. The other day I scored another delicious batch of grapes, and. In a moment of panic.

I regret not taking a picture of this one in progress, because, you know.a picture is worth a thousand words. I'll try to be more brief than that in my description of this page. The green painted pages are torn to reveal the paper-covered pages underneath. I inked the torn edges before gluing them down. The pennants are cut from pink paper. The flowers and butterflies are stamps painted with chalks. Links to this post. What time is it? Links to this post. You don't always need a plan. Links to this post.

Going Green in the Natural State. We have been hanging around close to home lately. Business is slowing down as the summer draws closer and will pick back up full speed ahead in the fall. Between now and then we are preparing to welcome two new grand babies to the world, both boys. (Is there any other kind? Except for the one and only Brookie, heart o' my heart). For some time now I have heard of "The Green Corner Store" in Kristin's conversations, so much so, that it had become almost legendary in my mi...

ICAD 2015, Cards 3 and 4. Continuing on with Cards 3 and 4. This one is stamps, watercolor pencils, white Signo pen. Acrylic paint wash for background. Again, an acrylic wash background. The map is an old, old stamp. I shaded it with some colored pencils and distressed the edges of the card. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Love grows in little houses. Progress photos of my recent art journal spread. I added texture with paper and recycled paper towel. Some color is added with creamy crayon (like gelato). The next layer is acrylic paint, applied with my fingers. Next, some random letter stamps. Then I started building little houses with pretty paper. The doors are paper scraps, the windows painted with creamy crayon. A few more details, some shading, text and border. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
