Art Journaling Craftalong - 2022

@photojenn great minds, I did the black and white foliage too, it looks great on yours

@Lynx I’m so glad you joined us, I love the black around your squares.

@Cindy that’s lovely, I really like the stamping.

@Bugaboo I agree with you on the negative space, but yours still works, the colour choices are great.

@Abbeeroad those are fab, I love how your doodles round the squares, and the text is perfect.

I have to confess I struggled a bit with this one, I think I started too dark and then the addition of crayon really killed my posca pens. I shamelessly copied @Magpie with the finer lines to outline the shapes. These are mine.

I was looking at your name on zoom, racking my brain to figure out who you were on LC … duh, that’s why it seemed familiar since I’ve seen and written it on letters. Nice to make the connection.

I like the colours bumped together and your stamps.

Your bottom one is nicer because it’s not so dark. I didn’t like the crayon either because nothing would go over it.

LOL I know I always struggle with screen name vs real name for some! I’m getting better the zooms really help!

Everybody did such unique work, I just love that.
Thanks for hosting Carlee! Nice to see folks :slight_smile: .
Mine are not finished but I need to not look at them for a few days so I can come back with fresh eyes.



Then I got out the gelli plate & made more mess, fun fun!

Also not finished but putting them away until next weekend.

When I had Homerof2, I put that and my real name on zoom, now it’s easier since they are the same.

This computer gets used for so much you’re lucky it didn’t say Jason or the kids names when I signed in LOL I always forget to change it! I think I used it last for a PTO meeting so it actually showed up as me though they get interesting too because people are obviously using a spouses names

I love seeing everyone’s take on the video!

The 2 I did during the video I think I did too small and were just too busy. And some of the stamping bled.


I did a 3rd one with bigger squares

Oooo, I really like your 3rd one. No stamps that time? Doodles FTW!

@Edel - I don’t know what you’re talking about - I love both of these!!

@Magpie - these are great, even for being unfinished! And I love the gelli marathon results. So much color!

The watercolor pages are beautiful and so cheery and spring like. All of them! I am sorry I missed this session, but I was out in the woods enjoying the weather.
