A Thing Called Love Week 2 - Jolie Raimondo

Hello my lovelies!

I had a lovely afternoon today working on

a lesson in Brandi Dayton's

A Thing called Love

Week 2 lesson is taught by Jolie Raimondo.

I love her style, with thick layers which are so painterly and free.

I really enjoyed this class and Jolie's teaching style.

Her & Brandi are a hoot!

Here's my version.

If you haven't taken part in A Thing Called Love

I'm a bit behind with my courses at the mo,

#Journal52 Week 11 - Gentle

Hello my lovelies!

It's a gloomy grey Saturday here today.

Perfect arty time for me!

I wanted to share my spread for the J52 prompt Gentle.

I wanted to use pastel tones for lightness that the

word gentle brings to mind.

This world is harsh...Stay Gentle

came to mind as I was painting the background,

and I have to say it is perfect.

This rings true for me in so many ways.

I used:

PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in

Sherbert, Sage, Cheesecake & Sky

White Acrylic Marker

Sheena Douglass Feather Stamp - SD-SS-FEA

Archival Ink in Watering Can

Memento Ink in White

Alphabet Stamps in Typewriter Font

Black Biro

Hiya my lovelies!

Mini Moley Catch up time!

Here's the rest of February's

using scriptures but I also love quotes,

I use brainyquote.com to find them.

I thought it would be nice to use them in a daily page journal like this!

Hiya my lovelies!

This is project 3 which follows on from project 2.

Using the masks I made with my glue gun (see prev post)

I made these with them too!

I told you I had fun.

😉

I used Fresco Paints, Lindy's Starburst Sprays

& Zig Clean Colour Brush Pens for this one:

I also used a Unipin pen for the detailing.

Same for this one but different colours:

This one I used Lindy's Starburst Sprays for the background

& PA Min107 Stamp with Archival Ink in Watering Can. (My Fave!)

I made some bookmarks as you can never have too many!

I used masks with lindy sprays for the backgrounds & some ArtC stamps.

I also decided to use my favourite mask in my Mini Moley

for todays page. I used Pebeo Paint, DecoArt Media Fluid

& a Unipin Pen for detailing.

Love it!

I can see me making more of these & using them everywhere,

so watch out!

I had so much fun so have a go!

PaperArtsy Challenge #2 - Masks Project 2

Hiya my lovelies!

Here's my second project for the challenge over at

PaperArtsy!

I decided to make some masks/stencils with my glue gun.

I had a whale of a time!

Here they all are:

I sprinkled some Infusions in A Bit Jaded, The Sage &

Emerald Isle onto my Dylusions journal & added water

for a background.

I added my masks & gessoed on top.

 I then used Blood Orange, Autumn Fire, Pumpkin Soup

& Hey Pesto on top. I love the translucency of these colours.

In fact I use them so much I need to get some more!

Here's the finished journal spread.

I really had a lot of fun doing this.

It's so easy & I now have my own custom masks/stencils!

Give it a go!

Perhaps you already have, let me know in the comments below!

Hand Painted Bags

Hiya my lovelies!

I just wanted to share my latest commission.

My friend asked me to paint a lunch bag for her

Mum & a maxi shopper bag for her MIL.

She sent me photos of her Mum & specs for each one.

Here they are!

Her Mum is known for wearing glasses on her head &

I made her jewellery with beads & sewed them on.

Her MIL loves gardening so bright flowers were in order.

I really enjoyed painting these, especially the floral one.

I may be painting more floral bags in the near future!

I hope you like them, let me know in the comments below!

#Journal 52 - Anticipate

Hiya My lovelies!

Another page to share in my Journal 52 journal.

I've linked the FB page.

This weeks prompt was Anticipate.

Here's my page.

I used a mixture of Fresco paints & Pebeo paints to

paint this scene.

Now, I don't often share loads about myself, but this prompt

really struck a chord with me.

I study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses & have

done so for many years. We believe that God will

take back sovereignty over the earth & Jesus will be King.

The earth will be brought back to a paradise, as it was meant to be!

This is my little version of what I anticipate!

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

PaperArtsy Challenge #2 Masks

Hiya my lovelies!

Today I'm sharing my make for PaperArtsy's

2nd challenge this year- Masks.

I decided to do a very easy & simple page in my

Mini Moley Journal.

This simple & easy technique is one of my faves! 

I applied Rose, Very Berry

London Bus & Blood Orange Frescos

onto my page after a coat of Clear Gesso.

have to gesso the pages as thin!

            I then placed a heart shaped post it note on top.

Easy right?

I then sprayed over the top with a homemade purple spray.

Simple!

Heart shape! Yey!

I liked that it wasn't perfect, but if you don't, I suggest you use

a temporary fixative to hold the mask down.

Finished off with a Black Staedtler Lumocolor & a Black Biro.

 Told you it was simple & easy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Let me know what simple techniques you

still love to use in a comment below!
