HeArt Journal 2011 - Week 1 - Wings

Assignment & Technique Tag

My page of butterflies, all sorts of butterflies, done all sorts of ways!

HeArt Journal 2011

 

I'm taking part in The Greeting Farm Project - this is the journal I'm making for HeArt Journalling 2011, I decided to make my own, so I can use 140lb watercolour paper, which is so great for art journaling. I'll put the pages through the Bind-it-All when the album is completed, but this will give me more flexibility!

 Front cover, chipboard covered with canvas (Claudine Hellmuth), Radiant Rain Shimmer Mist & Masks, Teresa Collins patterned papers, Grungeboard letters, sprayed with ink and then clear embossed, then a few flower embellishments & tassels.

 Inside front & back covers with pockets for 23 tags, I'm using the tags to record what the assignments are each week and techniques/products used

Back cover

Organising my Promarkers

Thought I'd organise my pens into colours with tags, as it's difficult to tell what's in the cases when they're closed!

PURPLE

(Monday July 25 - Sunday August 1st)

"But, luckily, he kept his wits and his Purple crayon."

- from Harold and the Purple Crayon (1955)

Next weeks Bonus Challenge for Purple week is to bring on the sparkle and shine . . . You may use anything that would stop a deer in it's tracks - fine glitter, chunky glitter, glass glitter, crystals, beads, shiny discarded embellishments (like the flip flop above ;), glass holiday ornaments . . . I could go on . . . you get the picture!

Blog Time Yet Again!

Tammy over @ Daisy Yellow has posted a list of what you can do with an Index Card - number 44 on the list is my Wordsearch Index Card that I did on 12th June 2011. There are 52 things on the list, it's amazing, these little cards are truly addictive!

Blog Time again

The brilliant Natalie's been busy blogging about her "In The Sun" project over on her "In The Sun" blog and I get a mention again (I think I've been mentioned every week!), pop over and see what she's doing and after that, you can check out my fellow artists' blog posts/prompt pages here in this list - enjoy!

Ooh and this is the page I made from the bag my goodies from Natalie came in, simple & effective!
