To celebrate reading, our school will be holding a Harry Potter day on Friday. As this will entail dressing up, I thought that I had better make myself a wand. Having seen a few YouTube videos where a chopstick and hot glue were used as the basis for such a project, I thought that I would have a go at creating one for myself. Having raided the pantry for chopsticks, I made a start.
The mini mission this month over on Mission Inspiration is Romance. As usual I created a page for my tag journal on a #8 manilla tag.
I thought it was about time that I caught up with the Mission Inspiration prompts for July. Given two of the prompts and the fact that it's our first home match of the season tomorrow, the theme was a no brainer! Three suggested colours (Yellow Ochre, Burnt Orange and Grey), eight steps and a choice of five word prompts were the usual order of the day for this monthly challenge.
This tag was created in under forty minutes in response to a speed challenge set in a FB live session with Lou Withers of Junk Journals and Mindful Mixed Media Art (JJAMMMA). We had to create a tag using the theme of Paris in a limited amount of time and upload an image to the FB page.
Having successfully completed every prompt for 2017, I decided to continue the journey with Nina Ribena's Art Journal Prompts and More in 2018. The name of the group has changed to allow additional types of project, but I have decided to continue creating an art journal page each week. The monthly prompt for January is 'Words' and I chose the word 'dare'. Last year's word for me was 'Create' which I certainly have done, but this year I want to be a little more adventurous and daring in my work and try new techniques as well as grasping creative opportunities which come my way.
This page was created for week 44 of Art Journal Prompts. The prompt was Autumn/Fall and I decided to use my latest bargain buy from Craft Clearance (thanks Nina for the tip); the large pack of Tim Holtz Grunge board (Swirls/AlphasTH92491) which were less than £10 for 26 sheets of grunge board.
