Again mainly distress, Altenew, archival, SU & the ton inks, made over the last few months.
The boat is attached via a loose spring/coil made from wrapping floristry wire around a pen. It wobbles & rocks when the card is moved. Made for my grandson Nates bday.
I started art journalling a year or so before the pandemic, never anything too personal mainly just following youtube vids, but havent really done much lately. Here are some of the pages I have done. All are loose leaf and either stuck into ring binders or scrapooks. I know me and I'd never risk ruining a proper journal lol.
The black trees are a seperate page and cut out.
A free Tracey Scott class on Facebook.
The Matroyshka Dolls are a series of 4 pages each doll being cut away slightly larger on each layer and around the cutout I have journaled words to describe the roles I take on, wife, mother, grandmother and finish the series with some affirmations about being me.
When we first started doing weekly vid chats in lockdown I intended doing a page a week a to z. I didnt get very far but did enjoy tracing around the aal & create butterfly mask then hand cutting it with a scalpel.
Captain Sir Tom Moore, stencil cut with scal.
We lost Poppy November 2019 and this is my tribute not just to her but to all of the family staffs we have loved over the years. Each has their name under the pawprints. In order, Sherry, Butch, Sadie & Hattie, Bob, Thatcher, Charlie, Poppy & Nym. Amazed that it's been 6 years since I blogged but it has been. A pretty stressy job (thankfully long gone) ill health (thyroid killed my motivation) losing Poppy, and the pandemic put paid to a lot of my creativity let alone the want to blog.
Twice weekly video chats with some of the playday ladies has not just kept me sane but being in the playroom (which is reasonably tidy thanks to the length of the calls) and with a new pc has reawakened my love of card making, lavinia stamps and playing with inks. None of these are particularly original, most are inspired by youtube vids but it's got me making again, designing on scal again and it's sure as heck got me buying stash again. Just some of the cards made in the last couple of months, shout if details are needed on any and if I can remember what I used I will say. Usually it's distress, altenew, SU and the Ton inks.
