Halloween is one of my favorite “Making” Seasons. This month I decided to use one large parent sheet of watercolor paper to make this journal for spooky halloween images and Edgar Allen Poe quotes, just general mischief and mayhem!!!
I used Arches cold press watercolor paper, Distress Stains and Golden Fluid Acrylics
we headed to the Caribbean for this years Art Cruise
One of the Mixed Media classes was Gelli Plate Printing (one of my favorite things to do) and we made canvas tote bags.
I also had an Art Journaling Class
The classroom area.
We also had two other classes: A mixed Media Assemblage and a Planner Class
a fabulous photo of one of my watercolor palettes.
Another fun page in my moleskine journal. This page has an image transfer using a Xylene Pen
This was the piece that I taught as a class in Alaska, I just stumbled across the image. The cool thing about this piece is there are three hidden compartments, you can see one of them open with a red crown marble inside.
The canvas was made from recycled items
Manged to start a couple more pages this week, I like the way they are turning out
another substrate I like to work on are tags. They are inexpensive and easy to alter. Sometimes though they are a little flimsy for the media. These tags are made from heavy chipboard and make a great substrate for the many layers.
Cassia gave me this vintage sewing machine.
I think it is going to be a great display piece in the store.
We just have to figure out where to put it first! Always a challene to fit pieces into th store but I do love the old pieces with history.
Managed to squeeze in a little journaling time.
Black Dylusions Journal
Met up with the owners from Foxy Fix. It was their first time at the stationary show as well. It is always great to meet someone that you tak with on the phone or via email.
I went to a few tourist spots in the evenings. I love New York City, the streets have their own song and everything is so vibrant. I always feel that I could move here and then I feel the crowds of people and realise I could never live there. Way too many people for me.
I did manage to a little journaling in the hotel
My Moleskine Planner
