It was such a great zoom, I love working alongside you guys. This is my effort from today (with the white pen that you recommended @JoyfulClover)

@Edel Your mastery of the stamp is ULTIMATE!

How did you like the pen? Pretty good, right?

Ooh I love the pen, with what is an unseemly passion. I just need a permanent black one that goes on in the same way-suggestions??

Uniball vision elite is a great black pen. Writes on most anything. It’s what I used on my page today to make the squiggles around my circle

@geekgirl - I’ll have to check that one out.

@Edel - I use the Sakura Pigma size 1 (NOT .01), which is hard to find as a single. It doesn’t write the same as the white, but I do love it.

Great pages, everyone! I really like how everyone put their own spin on the core idea and incorporated journaling in their own way.

This is neither here but there, but my car Bluetooth connection doesn’t know the difference between an audio file and a webpage with embedded videos…Thus, if this thread is the last thing I have open before I start up my car (even though the browser is closed), it gets advertised while I’m driving. :smile:


I don’t know if that’s normal, but it’s nice when it’s something worth sharing with the world (good thing Im not looking at porn!). I was at a very long red light when I grabbed the photo.

I did another page today during my local craft zoom.

I’m much happier with this one. I used a lot less modeling paste

These are the water colors I got and really like

Watercolor Paint Set, Emooqi 42… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086QV8343?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And for acrylics I get the Liquitex Basics tubes.

Yes, I can see that you liked this one better…it is more “you”…love it!

The broken lines of black and white are ON POINT. And that color blending from teal to orange is wonnnderous!

Ooh very nice @geekgirl I love the circles

That’s really cool @calluna you’re taking us with you on your travels

Slight change of subject, but I did spy Crop-A-Dile punches at Michael’s on the clearance shelf for $14.99, if anyone needs one…Not the Big Bite, but the regular one.

Website has it for regular price…but it was half-price in the store.

Oh that’s a good deal. I may have to check it out.

Did y’all know that Sharpie now makes Sharpie gel pens? Only in black, blue, and red.

I did the Toni Burt tutorial! I used one of my friend’s pictures as my model for a face. It looks enough like her that I am going to send it to her…the rest is acrylic, stamps, circles, splatters, etc.

Really love everything you have going with the left side of the page.

For some reason, I’m getting strong retro vibes from this. Taking me back to the 70s. Fierce! Did you give the piece to her?

Also, now I want to get some floral stamps…

lol the left side was inspired by a skirt she loves…She lives in another state and hasn’t seen it yet…if she wants it, I will give it to her…

I have tons of stuff I need to do but I really feel like art journaling. Anyone around that would want to join me around 1:30 pm (Eastern time) to do this video?
