BIG blub-blubb Whail Wishes for the New year

 

Happy new year to you all!
A new year asks for a new art journal, isn't it? 
So, I made one and filled a spread with an underwater scene, sort of. 

Yes.. I played with my gelliplate again ..
Before pulling the prints I stamped in the wet acrylic paint with mostly stamps from the
 Sketchy Flowers #1 and Pencil Marks #1 stamp sets.  

I've sewn the signatures with a kettle stitch to strengthen the spine. 

I've made a journal from A5 gelli prints by folding them vertically, and adhering the back sides to each other to form the spreads inside the book.

These are two of the spreads that need to be filled yet, but has a basic background to start off on for any other happy play day. 

I chose this spread as I liked the foliage on these pages. 

I stamped in the background with some similar colors, not too dark, and also with second generation stamping. 

The main images are stamped with a dark purple, as well as some background foliage and script stamping. 

I fussy cut the main images and colored them with very little color. 

I wish you "BIG blubb Whale blubb wishes" for the new year!

I still have a lot of spreads to fill. 

The back and front cover and spine are covered with a separate print on sturdier paper, adhered to the back of the first and last page ..... as easy as that. 
All the edges were torn with the help of a ruler. 

... will have to add a closure with a thread and a button I think...

Reminder TIMI Challenge September

Reminder for the TIMI challenge from the Craft Stamper.
Come join in .. there is a beautiful prize! 

More Than Words - Nature & Animal theme

Nature.. yes.. that is mostly what I get inspired by..  it never fails to give me new ideas and inspiration to create.
Think of all the texture and shapes,  of leaves or flowers, trees; or the beauty of the atmosphere, or the gorgeous shades of green! And animals of course. 

I tried to capture a few aspects of nature on this art journal sheet in my art journal.

The left part of the 'trees' act as a curtain for the right part, giving room to let the second fox pop out of the woods. 

As far as I am concerned these two foxes are up to all naughty things, so they will be caught by one leg, or all four for that matter, during their life. 

Ants, butterflies and squirrels would want to see that, hehe. Just my imagination...

Wolf..

Een art journal pagina met de stoere wolf stempel van Crafter's Companion.. ik gebruikte ook een stencil van CC in de achtergrond! 

De achtergrond is gemaakt met Bister. 

A wolf... silence...

Crafter's Companion's wolf  :

A wolf.. . standing in the cold snow, while the sun is about to go down... silence ..

The first range is without the added blue... which one you like most? I love the white one, without the blue on the snow and in the sky most... 

See for yourself:

now for the ones with the added blue: 

Stamps / stencil are from Crafter's Companion !

The cat...

The background paper has been made with Walnut Spray inks from Tsukineko and salt crystals.
To create the depth you will have to use a MISTI.
Stamp the cat in a brown first, then add touches of black with a distress marker. Add white with white acrylic paint, and a white acrylic marker.
