Laugh

I was feeling a bit down so I needed a pick me up. I typed 'funny' into Pinterest and spent an hour laughing. Later I created this double page. The painting on the right side is inspired by Noel Mignon.

I wrote about not sharing the left hand side as I didn't feel it was worthy of it. it is just a scrapbook paper with a bit of lettering. Then I went to town on the other side and really enjoyed myself, so I thought I'd share the pages together ... one so simple, and the other side much more what I like.

I've been trawling the internet lately for other bloggers who art journal as I've been a bit of a lonely artist these past few days. It's so nice to see what other people are up to.

I joined a blog party that Brenda of Bumblebees and Butterflies ... so hello to those people who have wandered over from there.

    What a great activity to do when you are feeling down and look at the unconstrained and fabulous art you ended up with. A great page with a great theme Jenni. I love it. Thanks for sharing at A Visual Journey. xxx

      HI Sue .. actually I was feeling much better by the time I designed it, but, I'm really glad you like it and see it as cheerful. Thanks very much for being my very first follower! I was very excited.

    Love the spontaneity and colors, and that you started with a google search! My favorite starting place most of the time as well! Look forward to seeing future contributions to this party :-)

Look Deeper

Image
At first glance this page seems happy and bright (just as I wanted it to be). But if you look deeper you will see the writing in black pencil. You may not be able to read it on the computer so I'll type what it says. On the left page I have written 'Why can't I love my art for what it is?' And on the right it says 'It's sad that I feel I need to have Cheerleaders. I am always seeking other people's validation'. So if people flick through my journal they will see a happy bright page. If they want to know more about me and stop to read the text they will see what I was working through. My word for this year is 'Allow'. So I am going to allow myself to be what I am and share my pages. I saw another lovely page that read 'Give away your gifts'. So I think that is a more positive way of looking at what I do by putting my work on the internet for other people to see. And for that purpose. Here is my process. 1. Stick down news...

Think Pink

Could there be anything I want to do more than use pink??? So this page is for the Think Pink challenge this month at Mixed Media , and I'm also submitting it to Brenda's Blog Party at Bumblebees and Butterflies. I went for a cartoony style for my fairy to match the cutesy ness of the rest of the page. Once again I got so involved in the process i forgot to take photos of stages ... sorry. I used paint, journalling pens (including a really cool white paint pen which I will be using heaps I think), pencils and stencils. I was inspired by Krishna's keepsakes page to do some tangle dangles. I hope you enjoy! Jennidee

Peacock Fantasy

Image
I'd like to submit my latest work ... peacock Fantasy to the Mixed Media Challenge . The theme this month is bird of a feather so i went crazy with peacock feathers which I adore. Her hair piece is 3 dimensional. I sewed on suffolk puffs, a charm and a shiny button and the feathers are secured using silicone. The "beads" of her necklace are also secured using silicone. She will go on display at the Winmalee Artfest in May. Thanks for looking. Jennidee
