Art Journaling Craftalong - 2022

[geekgirl]

For the 12 Days of Christmas swap @photojenn gave me this set of art journaling prompts
I put them in card sleeves to protect them from my messy creative style and in this old card box that I think I got from @Magpie ?

And I used the notebook I got from @Renstar to use the prompts,

here are the 2 pages I did following the prompts (You randomly pick 5 cards, shuffle, do what each card says, shuffle again and do them again in a different order.

great way to make backgrounds!

and then I added some simple focal points

and here are some other pages I’ve done in my notebook

How fun! I particularly like the “art” page, but the prompts are great!

@geekgirl

Susanne Rose Art

Yes! I want to do more of her videos for sure.

[geekgirl]

This is the one I want to try.

Anyone around this sunday to journal over zoom? this one looks simple and fairly quick.

My son has basketball practice and a game on Sunday, but I might be able to squeeze this in if it’s at our normally scheduled time!

[photojenn (Jenn)]

I should be able to make it

[geekgirl]

I should have done a poll.

Who’s in for art journaling Sunday at 2pm Eastern time?
@BeesKnees @Edel @calluna @Cyn-energy @marionberries @AIMR @Abbeeroad @photojenn @Cindy @Lynx2Lancer @goatgoddesss
This should be a good one to jump in on if you haven’t joined in before!

This video she paints with inks but you could definitely use watercolors or watered down acrylics. She uses a lettering stamp but you could collage some book text down.
the circles are also stamps but easy enough to replicate using a gel pen and something to trace around.

• gel or paint pens - optional
• a sentiment
• a focal point - could be something you draw or cut out
• heat gun or hair dryer

[Abbeeroad]

I am going to try this to make an alternative to the spray inks. Might be a total disaster, but I happen to have the gel icing coloring on hand. Worth a shot.

Forget the $5 a bottle spray inks - come learn a down and dirty method for...

[Edel]

I said yes, but I’ve forgotten that I’m away on Sunday, so I might not be back in time

that color palette book she uses looks AMAZING and I can’t find it

[bluebird]

What about the design seeds instagram? Lots of color palettes there to look at and use.

[BeesKnees (Brandee)]

ooh thanks! I googled the name and the site was coming up as dead and I didn’t get past the first (dead) suggestion for the the insta. So weird because it is fine now…

I will def use her insta for reference! I would still love a hard copy though; maybe I will find it if I keep looking. There is just something about hard copy for stuff like this

[Smmarrt (Susan - You can just add more paint!)]

Just an FYI - the Teachable site will be down for maintenance on Sunday 1/16/22 from 6 am to 10 am EST. So you won’t be able to access any classes.

Another fun little page inspired by Susanne Rose Art. I’m really enjoying her style.

[Abbeeroad]

I was also inspired to make some collage papers today. My kids had a lot of fun with the stencils and stamps lol.

I only found a dozen or so pink splotches on the floor.

[photojenn (Jenn)]

At least you can blame your kids, I have to blame my cats which is far less believable

[JoyfulClover]

Beautiful! I love the 2 circles, and the floral on black with lovely, pale pinks is so modern!

[Abbeeroad]

Made and tested some “inks.” I think they’ll work! fingers crossed

[photojenn (Jenn)]

Today’s spread in the back of my daily creative practice journal.

I used the black glaze pens @geekgirl sent me in the 12 Days of Christmas swap for the lettering. I love the look they create and have been using them a ton in my DCPJ.

[Abbeeroad]

Love it!
