Creative Thought Part Two

Another idea I had for creative thinking. For some reason, the theme is galloping in my head. I created this page using acrylics and chalk, along with a stencil to portray the feathers. The stencil was a TCW.

I am beginning to understand stencils...use them wisely. Liquids run...don't use...unless you want your page to look messy. Which come to think of it, my pages usually do look strange, because I still am trying to learn how different mediums work with other mediums. SIGH

Now for another page I recently created. I really like this one because I managed to start from a weird background of green splots...from there...I decided I was in the mood for a flower and off I went...drawing a daisy. Or, maybe a sunflower missing a few leaves. Either way, I had fun painting it. I used acrylics mostly.

Until next time, happy creating...whatever you're doing.

A Creative Thought

Yesterday evening, while looking for something not art related in my very messy library (I call it the library because the room is loaded with books), I came across a picture I'd saved one time or another. An idea hit me for a journal page and out came my art things.

Since the World Series was on, I decide to work on my idea while half watching the game. I'm rooting for Kansas City and my husband for San Fransisco. Despite being not too happy at the final score (San Fransisco won), I was pretty pleased at my final drawing. I used a combination of art mediums: Distress Paints, Colored Pens, Molding Paste colored with acrylic paints, a leaf stamp, and two leaf stencils.

Today I came up with the sentiment because for me I decided the leaves represented thoughts floating in the Universe.

Mixed Media Canvas Art

Here is my third attempt at doing a piece of Mixed Media Canvas Art. The trouble is, while learning, I am struggling with my Virgo perfection side with my want to be free to do anything side.

I guess this is a compromises to both sides. Some parts are organized, others are not. Some day I will satisfy both sides. Hopefully in their own departments.

What Others Think

Here's a page I created using one of the 7 Rules of Life from WHISPER FROM THE HEART. I found the graphic on Pinterest.

Since I'm limited on my skills of writing by hand, I elected to use the printer to print the words on paper then cut them out. The flowers I drew freehand and colored with various markers. The background was painted with acrylic paints.

Hope you enjoyed it.
Have a great day.

Red Sunset

Though it's been ages since I've posted on my blog, I haven't been idle. I'm still writing best selling books, making cards like crazy, but I've also invested some time for learning how to art journal. I have found art journaling has improved my two other creative sides.

What fun...and exciting.

Here's one of my art backgrounds. Believe me, most of the time, I'm designing from another ether world. Sometimes, though, I fall in love a piece of work designed by others and attempt to design my own version.

For all you wonderful creative people out there you're my inspiration. Thank you.

So...starting today, I am sharing my first one. I call this RED SUNSET. Since I like these colors so much, I probably won't do more with this page until I'm ready to move on. BIG GRIN
