No, neither of those ideas crossed my mind … that’s why I need the experts to help :smiley:

I just realized my last page followed a March prompt … embellishment from a master board (two of the flowers were punched from a painted master board)

My March pages

The dress on the paper doll is a paint-y master board and it’s hard to see in the photo but there is gold paint and masking tape on the dress too. Grids/squares, quote, favorite animal (birds), and postage stamps. I think that’s everything.

Does anyone else want to make a list of prompts for April?

After saying I wasn’t going to buy any more of Alisa Burke’s classes, I picked up her flower journal class on sale for $10 a couple weeks ago. I thought flowers were specific and different enough from her other stuff. While it is still a bit “more of the same” I am enjoying the different focus.

I tried out abstract flowers yesterday. It is a bit square to fit at least one of the March prompts, right?

She makes it easy to buy more with her frequent sales. I considered it myself.

Your page is so bright and cheery!

I kept meaning to post this earlier in the week -
Any one up for art journaling Sunday at 2pm Eastern time?

This video is good because he shows you how to just use random objects to make abstract art.

Supplies:

  • various types of paper for collaging (book, music, ledger, etc)
  • adhesive
  • a scraper - cardboard, credit card, spatula, etc
  • gesso
  • acrylic paints
  • damp cloth
  • things for texture
    • sponge on roller with rubber bands
    • the roller on your brayer wrapped with twine
    • wall paper
    • corrugated cardboard / coffee sleeve
    • bubble wrap
    • block wrapped with twine (I used a stamp block)
  • paper and pencil and scissors to cut out stencil/masks
  • paint brushes
  • stamps and ink
  • bottle caps/ pen lids/ empty paper or tape rolls
  • something to make marks - oil pastels, inks, gelatos, etc.
  • I’ll be there!

I’ve said yes, but I might not be able to make it. My daughter has her graduation for her Master’s in just, and we’re having a few people around for food. If they are gone, I’ll jump on. Otherwise I’ll just keep on being the hostess with the mostest

I’ll join if I can - I’ve been having a very pressured time at work the last few weeks, but I think I could do with a little art break. And, I miss you guys :smile:
