Six years ago April 5th, 2013, I posted my first post to my Blog. My grandson had set me up, and I was ready to go! I cannot believe I have been blogging that long. If I figured up the numbers right this is the 213th post! I have gotten to know bloggers from all over the world,
and have learned a lot of craft techniques as well as learning about new tools! Also, lately I have learned about artists and musicians, poets and a lot of other useful knowledge, and maybe some not! But, I am smiling, because I have really enjoyed the journey. I have enjoyed all of you, my blogger friends! Thank you for going with me on this journey and for all your inspiration!
I am celebrating by joining in three challenges today: Try It on Tuesday (to use at least two stencils on our project) and Art Journal Journey with the theme "Having Fun' and More Mixed Media, anything goes with optional yellow. I always want to join in, but never seem to get it done! So today as part of my celebrating I am doing these three challenges.
I love working with stencils and think I used 4 different ones counting the letter stencils. The having fun just made me think of all the fun I am now having because the sun is out and it is warm enough to walk! So I am having fun in the sun. I should have put birds on here, because I have been seeing birds again! Hindsight is great! Anyway, I sure did have some fun getting dirty with ink and paint! I use a 7x10 Canson 98 lb. book for my technique journal. Thanks for looking
Here is my journal page:
| You can't see the sparkle and there is lots of sparkle with the silks and I added Wink of Stella to the butterfly. |
| The only item not in the photo are the Bible art stamps I added because it needed something. But, I wanted it to look bright and sunny. |
