Now that we’ve turned another page on the calendar, it’s time for the Kathryn Wheel Calendar Challenge. Here are my pages for April…
With everything going on recently, I’ve been on a journaling frenzy over the last few months.. 
I’ve just about run out of pages in this journal, so I made a new one to get started in.
April was a huge birthday month, so I made some cards. It’s nice to have a stash of them at my fingertips when needed. 
I’ll leave you with this lovely song/video…
Have a wonderful May!
[chuckle] her dirty feet puts a very odd clanger into the mix. And what the holy hell was the paper folding designed to symbolise. While the babies sock was a bit O.T.T in many ways not least that it was too too obvious and an unnecessary cute addition. Otherwise I quite liked it. Mind you I'm still uncertain if the sound is to go with the images as a sort of ballet. Or if it's like an 80s music video.
ReplyDeleteThat journal is quite dark generally. The runs in the ink and the dark patterns are very powerful. While the oval shape seems the way to go with the daily essence.
How are you finding the acrylic ?. You can get a flo-improver that will save you a fortune in paint going off, for it really doesn't lend itself to ruminations otherwise.
p.s. glasses be bitches to draw and/or paint. I've found bending one of the arms in 45 or more, while turning the whole takes the 'in mid air' feel to them. It the darn ear bit that's so pesky. It's a discordant line.
ReplyDeleteyour art journaling is soooo expressive, it really speaks to me! and you jump from one style to another with the same ease, wow!
ReplyDeleteps: love that song ;)
@Vince - ha, I thought the sock part was funny/odd too. The still motion is clever.
ReplyDeleteI do really like working with the acrylic. I find it much easier to get brighter/deeper color with it in a wash than I can using watercolor - much less effort. I haven't done much more than washes or the collage type painting with them. I'm limited skillwise in detail painting anyways, so just dropping watercolor in sketches is much easier for me than trying detail work with acrylic.
@France - Oh thank you, I don't know how much ease I do it in, but that is a nice compliment. Thanks for coming by.
