Art Journal Caravan - June Adventure Quest - Scavenger Hunt - Week 4

Well! This is what came out of my head with the items we had to include! I like the page, but am going to do another if I ever get the time, as my prevous 3 have all been street scenes, and I'd like to make them a set...and this stands out a bit frm the others, LOL!!

(btw the precious stone is a tiny emerald on her finger!!)!

An evening of fun!

OK, so how much fun can one person have with some brushes and some Textures?!!!

First I had a play with Tea Stain 1 brushes from Creative Victorian Designs and managed to get a nice subtle effect which, when paired with a couple of 'artistic' filters, gave an image I really liked.

Then I received Kim Klassen's email and thought I'd have a go on this photo with those! I used Granny's Cupboard and Greydaystone, as well as 3 layers of the photo, 2 B&W and one coloured, plus a whole range of blending modes, LOL, and absolutely love the effect I got there too! I resisted the temptation to brighten up the photo, as when Dd1 went on this beach hack, when they returned home, the clouds were really black, and they did get wet...from the rain as well as splashing in the sea, LOL :)

Thanks Netta of CVD & Kim Klassen for your inspiration!!!

Art Journal Caravan - Page 26 - Catch

Loved this quote as it seemed quite reassuring for someone trying to work out what she can do with her art :) Tried to give a sense of perspective with the things at the bottom...and my camel is looking up at her jumping high in the sky! Chasing dreams?!!!

CT LOs for Netta Riss using new kit - Laugh!

LOVED this new line of Netta Riss kits! As always, beautiful and versatile too :)

You can grab it HERE!

(My altered page does, as usual, have a story to it! Lets' just say that in certain organisations, a lot of people just do as they're told and don't truly question anything or stand up for what they feel is right, just because they 'belong'...I'm not like that, LOL, and it can be frustrating at time! This page came out of that frustration - tis a stylised me running away from all the others who are the same and refuse to stand up and make their opinion heard!!)

Inc.

A bottle marked "poison"

*Luggage

*Horseshoe

*Chameleon or other reptile

*Thermostat/thermometer

*Telescope or binoculars

This was harder than the first week, LOL! Not sure I actually like looking at this, but am pleased with it, if that makes sense :) let's just say it's not pretty!!

Anyways, I loved the quote so went with the idea of the 'nice' young lady looking like she's in the wrong place completely, and that's what people would tell her...but maybe she has a good reason for being there?!! Used some stock photos and then grunged it all up - that was fun!!

Art Journal Caravan - Page 25 - Laughter

This is my page for laugh but I think there may be another, brighter, page in me yet too :) But for now, this is what came!

We have the dove (Holy Spirit) for the strength, hearts fluttering down from above for the comfort, and raindrops for the tears; light beams reaching down softly to light the way as the quote says. My camel (representing my art) is there also for comfort!

Hummie's World - Course 2, Lesson 80 - Magnifying Glass

LOVED playing with this - thanks for the d/l Hummie! - but had to get just the right photo :) I also found it important to select just the right bit of the photo to spherise...it showed the effect more if I could see the wooden post's changed shape as well as the bird!

And...YAY! This was the last lesson in Course 2 (to date anyway!!) - what an achievement!! *pats self on back* :)

Art Journal Caravan - June Adventure Quest - Scavenger Hunt

We were tasked with making a page which included 6 'finds' (items of stash!).

Well! This was hard to fit into my 'style', but I think I actually like what I've made :)

The quote is a bit of a comment on the page, LOL...the page looks like a normal scene, but look closer and things that shouldn't be there can be found!

So the quote saying wherever you go, whatever the weather, take your own sunshine, is for me to remember that fun things can be found even in the hardest of times (or most boring of places, LOL!) IYSWIM!!

Made sense to me anyways rotfl!!!!!
