layout update

Sharing a few layouts from the last month of creative flow.

Featuring some important scrap sistas who rock my creative world .

Music On / World Off

Music is the last true voice of the human spirit, 

it can go beyond language, beyond age

 and beyond colour straight to the mind and heART of all people.

Ben Harper

Sharing a quick music inspired layout completed last month 

at the rad Flutterby Designs Retreat out Tamworth way on the grounds of Lake Keepin-it Real.

(very little country music to be heard-yippee) but lots of cool tracks on Anitas i-pod

Using a combination of Stencils from Flutterby Design and CWS this piece celebrating this

 rockin Music man fell together in a flash. HB to him.

House paint, Thickers,Stamping ,Me & my Big Idea music notes,a little more rad Flutterby Design Flair love and this piece was complete. 

Music gives a soul to the universe,

 wings to the mind,

flight to the imagination,

and life to everything else.

Plato

 Music is the strongest form of Magic.

A few months ago I was blessed to be asked by my gorgeous arty friend Ange,

 to throw together some pieces for my 1st solo Exhibition.

 Thanks to My Happy Place HQ for hosting me. 

Big Thanks and Love to all those people who purchased my pieces.

I'm feeling very blessed to have had this experience, 

and to have been able to find homes for all these colourful pieces .

Thats Where the Magic Starts

 Howdy Folks , Quick Blog update , because its been Oh so long .

Away last weekend Retreating and scrapping Old School Style for me ,with a modern spin .

This one isn't DT related so I can share.

Started with some quality Marshmellow cardstock ,Dylusions and a water spritzer.

That's where the magic starts. 

Still needs some finer details , but i thought I'd share the process so far .

Have a creative day .

Be Brave with Art Dolls

Howdy Folks , long time no Blog, well it seems that way.

 Lots of Arty stuff happening ,for other rad sites but I seem to neglect my home here.

So anyway,I've been playing with Art Dolls from Mischief Circus

They are fabulous to add instant impact to your art journal.

I've created a fab background in my journal 

Next I fussy cut the Art Doll and then Matt Medium'd it into my journal

After appropriate drying time I attacked the page with my Posca Paint Pen to add a little fun details 

Be Brave and scribble or doodle over your page.
i finished with the Stabilo Magic pencil around the Art Doll to add depth tho the overall look.

Here's the result ... I love it !

Big thanks to Heather for always taking time to comment .

You are awesome xx

He's My Bestie

Sharing a piece recently from the Colour Blast Blog.

If you would like to know how i did this , check out the website HERE 

Art Angel

Howdy Bloggers. Here today to share a mistake made right.

You know those times when you make a background and its not at all what you wanted.

Yeah this is one of those pages .

I vomited colour onto a page and it was blerrrrr. 

wtf do I do with this mistake??

Well, firstly hit it with a little Colour Blast coloured texture and look at it as an Art Journal piece. 

I drew in a face ,body then added a wing to make the most of the  colour and texture on the page,added some house paint drips, waited till it was dry and painted out the background.

Because it was a 12"x 12" page and NOT in my art journal ,

 turning it into a Layout was an after thought .

Here's the piece before scrapping it .

A little stamping, some Stabio pencil magik, a few butteflies ,muslin,tissue paper 

plus a few embellies highlight this Art Journal Scrap Page about Camp Mojos dressup night 2015 and sharing it with my Charlies Angels roomies, Jo and Peg.

         Have you every created a mistake that you made good? 

Share a link with me, Id love to see it !

getting my artJOURNAL on

 "Keep busy doing the things you love and destiny will find you"

 Howdy Bloggers , another art journal update.

Do you struggle finding appropriate words to incorporate on to your art journal pieces?

I'm not a big lover of cliches,or single word titles(not that i haven't used them before) but finding something that is interesting and works with my pieces is sometimes difficult.

For these two pieces I've grabbed my phone and googled 'life & love' quotes for the above piece and 'heart' for this piece below.Up pops a a plethora of known and obscure quotes and one finds the best quote that work for ones piece.

" Let my soul smile through my heart ,

 and my heart smile through my eyes,

that I may scatter rich smiles to sad hearts "

----------------------------------------------

For this piece I tried to make it a little random.

So I love listening to music when i get arty,it helps my work flow

 and I find it inspiring to the whole creative process.

This week here in Oz ,it was Australia Day and 

the annual Triple J Hottest 100 is always a part of our celebration.

As I'm listening to the radio,I wanted to create a piece that incorporated words into my background. so I shazzam'd the Courtney Barnett song on the radio, Pedestrian At Best and used the words within the song to facilitate the background and the direction of the piece.

From that ,this Silhouette piece was born.

I would love to know how you add journaling to your art?

21 faces

I just want to put a big shout out to to Lifebook 2015 and to Kim Price for gifting it to me last year.

I feel like I personally grew so much artistically (and i haven't even finished the years lessons),and today I a snapped a few photos of the faces that I have created in my art journal over that last 6 months
