Using Random Sentences on a Tag as Inspiration

It was about time that I worked on a tag in 2019, so I had a look at the January challenge over on Tag It Tuesday.  There are always four prompts and at least two have to be used on the tag. This month the four prompts are 1: Scribble with coloured pencils; 2: Splatter ink or paint; 3: Use a random sentence and 4: Red.   For once, as you can see, I actually used all four.

Wand Making

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.

Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal Cover: Masculine Finish

Yesterday I shared how I created the wood effect for the inside of this Wrapped Journal Cover (see HERE).  Today,  I will show you how I added texture to embellishments for the outside of the cover, once again in keeping with the masculine theme.

Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal: Cool Wood Effect

I decided to make a more masculine journal cover using the Wrapped Journal Bigz die designed by Eileen Hull for Sizzix.  I have made one before (see HERE and HERE) but it was more feminine in appeal.  Today I am sharing the inside on which I built up a cool wood effect.

Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal: Part 2

Having shared how I decorated the inside of my wrapped journal cover yesterday (see HERE), today I will be sharing the outside.  I have not made any signatures for my journal yet; that will be a job for the school holidays.

Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal: Part 1

The Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal Bigz die that I had pre ordered arrived this week and I couldn't resist making one straight away.  I don't have extender plates with my ebosser, but managed to use the die anyway.  By the time you read this I will be getting ready to go to Berlin with a school trip, so I am preparing items for my blog in advance.  This post shows how I decorated the inside of the journal and tomorrow I will share what I did with the outside.

Abstract: An Art Journal Page

This page is in response to the final June prompt over on Nina Ribena's Art Journal Prompts and More: Repeat After Me, Abstract.  Once again, I tried out a selection of my new Amsterdam acrylics.

WOYWW 473: Deja Vu

Morning everyone and welcome to my weekly contribution to What's On Your Workdesk, Wednesday; a blog link up hosted by Julia on The Stamping Ground for over 9 years now.  Please feel free to peruse, lurk, comment, share as you see fit.

My side of the desk shows an art journal piece that I had not long started.  The prompt was 'Abstract' so I chose some of my Amsterdam acrylics and smeared them onto the page using my old season ticket card.  I have finished the page since the photo was taken and will be sharing it on my blog tomorrow if you wish to pop back.

On the other side of the desk there is a feeling of deja vu as Eva was once again working on the birth announcement cards.
This time next week I will be in Berlin with a group of Y8 pupils.  I am hoping to still be able to link up, although I won't be visiting due to lack of time lol. Have a happy WOYWW everyone.

Layers of Paint! An Amsterdam Experiment

I had a play with my Amsterdam Acrylics to unwind after work and this is where I ended up.

This tag was made using three of the four prompts from the June Challenge on Tag It Tuesday.  1 Newspaper; 2 Use a die cut; 3 Add texture with a palette knife; 4 Neutrals.  I used prompts 1, 2 and 4.
