Dreaming of New Adventures

Every week on Friday I share a blog post over at the Fabulous Scrapping Clearly Blog.

This week I had a Challenge with my Arty friend Cindy,

 to create and Upcycle a $6 canvas we stumbled upon in Kmart. 

Want to know how I put this baby together?

Go HERE.

Thanks For Dropping By .

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 !

 "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?
