Creative Jumpstart, Jan 25, Marlene Meijer: Fanciful Home

This was fun!

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 26: Gwen Lafleur: Home Gratitude Journal

Inspired by today’s video, I decided just to do a journal page rather than make a journal. I have a lot of handmade journals waiting to be filled! I don’t usually work in dark colors, so this was way out of my comfort zone. I’m happy with this page and am glad to find another use for my black and grey gesso, but dark is not my happy place!

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 24: Rikka Kovasin: inspiration Dice

Because I’m treating this as an art journal exploration, any of the prompts that create objects get translated into a journal entry. For this prompt I drew some dice and wrote different prompts that I might use to inspire something on an art journal page. There are oh so many more words I could add to other sides, and more dice.... this would actually be quite a neat way to inspire a page!

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 23: Jen Crossley:Tiny House Jewelry

Inspired by today’s video, I created a house which hides in a fairy garden. The quote reads: Garden fairies come at dawn, bless the flowers, then they’re gone.

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 22: Carolyn Dube: Sgraffito Sanctuary Journal

For this prompt I used her cover process to make my journal page. I’m not going to turn it into a cover, though I’m loving how soft and flexible the paper is, so I can see that one day I might. And, I finally got a chance to use those oil pastels that are sitting on the shelf! The words Health and Balance are my intention words for the year, chosen for another group.

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 21: Rae Missigman: Art you can share

This was art much less controlled than I’m used to! Fun.

Creative Jumpstart, Jan 20: Andrea Chebeleu: a home for your ATCs

This was a tough one to translate into an art journal page because Andrea actually created a little book with a pocket to hold ATC’s. I suppose I could have created a pocket n a different size for my Zentangle squares, but I have lots of holders for those. So, I used a gelli plate paper and drew on the template so if I ever decide to make one, here it is..
