I watched all of the videos this afternoon from the Fodder Lessons (on 1.5 speed 
) … I need to make some more fodder 
So this afternoon I had my first go at a masterboard. I used a mixture of paints, stencils and stamps.
It’s A3 sized, I’m not sure how big to cut it down to, I’m sure it will look better once it’s trimmed.

Super fun and colorful! I love the white squiggles (stencil?).

The magic is in the cutting up for sure. Yours is brilliant, beautiful work 
. Personally, I always add splatters, it gives a real dimension & depth.
I think the more of a hot mess you make, the better they turn out in the end!

Splatters are magic! If you are and your space are not covered with splatters, you need more!
@PrincessP --love the bright colors, the high contrast of black and white, the stencils…I think the goal is that when you cut it up, no one thing should be recognizable by others…
I cut my 12x9 paper into 6x3 tags or 4x2.5 tags…then if I need to do an ATC, I can cut it down further to the proper size. I don’t think there is any “correct” size…when I make notecards, I have a size for that as well.

That might be the most colorful masterboard ever! I really like this!

It really just depends on what you want to use it for! Cutout shapes like circles, hearts, stars, backgrounds for atcs or cards, a silhouette of something…the sky’s the limit on what to cut it into.

@Abbeeroad it was a stencil, leopard print I think?
@Magpie I tried some pink splatters at the end, but I don’t think I did enough - also, I think a splatter box would be a good idea because I sent paint flying, and this is a space where I sew as well
@AIMR @Lynx I think I’m going to cut some tags to start with
@Bunny1kenobi thank you 
that’s what I was going for!
… off to try to find the doodle class

Yes! I hope folks will share their progress. I still have to sign up. I watched the first fodder video yesterday at least!

Zero luck with the Gelli Print image transfers, but I think it has to do with the types of paper I had to experiment with. I’ll try again when a different batch of images come my way. Still, it got me printing a ton of pages for my LC summer challenge project, and it led to getting color onto ALL my remaining French-English dictionary pages, moving them from the “raw materials” area to the “fodder” category! 
I didn’t have much solid-color paper to work with before, so now I have a good bunch. A taste of the rainbow:

Last night I did some slow art journalling, I was inspired by a picture I saw on Instagram. I was drawn to the concept of slow drawing and used the circles a chance to be mindful at the end of a busy Sunday. Not sure if if there was a correlation to sleeping so well, but I did! I might go back and add some more layers or journaling to the page.

This is really nice. I love the blue textures you’ve achieved

I think making those would be very soothing and perhaps release some good hormones that helped with your sleep!
Beautiful contrast and love how you left the white all around…

Just wanted to show some of the items I made for my partners in the Paper Embellishment & Ephemera swap. I photographed them in pairs so I couldn’t post until they both received.
Paper dolls
Water colored circles
Fabric and book page envelopes
Inspirational quote cards and altered playing cards
Origami pockets
Book page pockets with decorative napkins & tissue paper
Book page tags - I can’t find the inspirational video but it’s just one page, folded in half twice, cut in tag shape, and sewn. After that, decorate as you would any tag.

So many ideas…
