Art Journal = Creative Book

I don't like to call it an Art Journal as I don't write any journaling in it and it is not a mixed media type of thing either. So its official personnality is a creative book. I made it myself from stash on my desk, a lot of recycling, coptic binding and it took me over 4 months to completed. Today I am showing you some pages but I think there will be a second part and maybe a third one, I'll see...

 

This is it for today!

Have a creative Friday!

Week #11 - WhenThings Don't Work Together!

It all started with an easy challenge at TheCraftBarn this week. Circles. And it ends up with this page that I don't really like. I don't know why I choose these colors. I don't like the almost look like a watermelon slice circle and the other almost like a pie.... I will have to live with it because I can't tear off my page. My book is already sewn together. Sometimes things don't want to work together!

Have a creative monday!

Week #5

Finaly I found a way to use my ipad to feed my blog since my computer died 2 weeks ago. So this is the challenge at TheCraftBarn, week 5. To use paper tape. I made my own with white tissu paper and colored with my distress inks. May has to be a happy page because my birthday is in that month.

Have a creative Wednesday!

Week #4

This week at The Craft Barn they are challenging us with doodles for our calendar page. I didn't want to make something similar to my february page, so I went lightly on doodling for the butterfly, wall paper and tablecloth...The jar is a digital stamp from LimeCitron.

Have a creative Tuesday!

Recycled Art Box

Today I am sharing the way I am making my little art box (for wall or as shelfsitter). I have several of these almost 4" x 6" sturdy old game boxes.

I first attached the lid to the bottom with masking tape. And glued some paper strips all around.  

And finished by gluing some paper on the front and back.  

I don't like mod podge or gesso so I transfered my own pattern directly on the vintage paper. 

I colored the image with my distress inks. 

Added some shadows 

Added some details 

Added more shadows 

Added some highlights and I was done. 

Enjoy art! 

Have a creative Sunday!

Inexpensive Ipad Cover

I bought this colorful Ipad cover at the dollar store! I simply added this pen and ink drawing angel on an old book page. Yes, I know, big eyes angel I should say! I plastic-coated it before to sew it the the cover, this way my drawing will last...

Here is a little close-up of my angel...
