I must admit, when I saw this prompt, my heart sank a little. It is probably my least favourite style of crafting and I have very few resources apart from one or two sets of stamps. The set that I ended up using has never seen ink before, but I must admit that by the end I was really pleased with the effect and the colour scheme.
I had absolutely no problem finding material for this prompt; two overflowing 'bit boxes' and another full of left over die cuts provided a host of resources!
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this prompt for Journal52 was Work / Life Balance and the second was the Yin-Yang symbol; I decided to combine both.
I am still catching up with the prompts for 2017 from the Art Journal Prompts Facebook group. I have been trying to complete one of the prompts that I missed as well as the new prompt each week. I now have only five 'back prompts' to go! This page relates to the 'Life is' prompt from week 4.
I recently saw a challenge to create a background in two minutes. I decided to extend that and experiment to create a finished tag in under twenty minutes. I just about made it, although if I hadn't taken any photos as I went along, I would have cut it less fine!
As soon as I saw the prompt for this, I immediately had the song from the musical 'Hair' in my head. It didn't take long to decide what the layout would be. I tried out my new collection of Aqua Tints for the background; gorgeous colours which go a long way!
Another first for me this year; an attempt at an art journal page without a list of prompts, just a key word and image. The prompt is courtesy of Journal52 which I became aware of through Mike Deakin Art, so thanks for sharing Mike. I am not worried that it is already week 3 as I am sure that I will catch up eventually; even if I only dip in and out it will encourage me to experiment. It is fitting therefore that the first word prompt of 2017 was 'Portal', as I see this as the way in to the next leg in my art journaling journey. I am really pleased with the final result, although there were plenty of OOPS moments along the way.
