Homemade Stamps

I played with my craft foam today.  Been wanting to do this and see if I like it.  The middle picture was with yellow paint and I did not think it would show on the blog.  I restamped with brown paint.  Fun!!  Dd likes the triangles best.  I like the circles.  What about you?

Art Every Day 2-Junque Journal

This is my new journal that I just put together.  I used the folders that I gelli printed last week.  I wanted to get it put together to share with my library art friends on Monday.  We are going to play on Monday.  Hopefully I can get some pictures of our work to share.

Play Time!

I took some time this afternoon to  play with a gelatin plate that I had made ages ago.  I had been wanting to do this since I saw some prints Julie ( Julie Fei Fan Balzer ) made on her blog and I had to try it.  I have been doing some art journaling and I wanted to make some prints on deli paper to use. My favorite tools were the stencils I made myself and some random junk from around my house.  The girl was a stencil I made using an image from a magazine.  Pretty cool, huh?  Now I need to bind the folders together for a new journal.  But first I had better go iron the stack of clothes that is ready to topple over.

Journal 21 2011

Every year I vow I will art journal at least once a week and every year I fail. My friend Cheryl is thinking of trying to do a page a week in 2012 and I am thinking of joining her.  But the other day I realized that I have done some art journaling every week.  My Journal 21 is where I play with my watercolors and try to write one thing about the day.  I also write my to do list here.  It is truly a journal of my year, things I have done and wanted to do.
