I will start this blogpost with my latest decision..or maybe it is just a logical step? From now on I see myself as an art journaler who loves to do some scrapbooking instead of a scrapbooker who loves to art journal! It's just a matter of underlining, accents, emphasis...or to be simple: what do I love the most?
Yep, art journaling!
This means that I will focus even more on art journaling from now on. My first step was finding a great blog with lots of inspirational prompts:
A Year in the Life of an Art Journal ! I was bloghopping, visited
Marit's blog and saw her art journal pages, inspired by their prompts. I hopped on over to that blog and the latest prompt inspired me right away: Love, lyrics and silhouettes!
A Year in the Life of an Art Journal has a new prompt every two weeks. After finishing my page for the latest prompt I immediately went to the one before...and the one before that...
So I created three pages in two days..which is a lot for me! Right now I'm working on page number four...
Here they are:
Prompt: Love
Song: Not Broken by the Goo Goo Dolls
Technique: Silhouettes
Background: acrylic paint
Image: magazine cut out, colored with Sakura Glaze pens
Prompt: Confidence Shot
Song: Strut by Adam Lambert
Technique: Eyeshadow (Ok, I skipped this one..)
Background: acrylic paint
Fire-stamps: Jenni Bowlin
Letters: Tumble Fish Studio
Image: collage of magazine cut outs
Prompt: I'm beautiful
Song: Real Love by Regina Spektor
Technique: Self-portrait
Background: glimmermist
Images: magazine cut outs
Ok, my hubby does look a bit green..sick...on this page. I always add some extra color to faces on my journal pages, like red lips, blue eyes and some great eyelashes. When I tried this at hubby's face I knew I shouldn't have...so I tried to correct it by wiping it away immediately...and damaged the picture a bit...
Note to self: don't pimp my own pictures !
Still, I had so much fun creating this page...that's obvious!
I'll be back soon with page number four and more...
TFL!
