A few minutes of fun - collaging a journal page

A Few Minutes of Fun
In this series you can join me at the craft table once a week for a few minutes of art and craft creativity - between ten and twenty minutes usually, depending what we're playing with.
Today I'm playing with one of the backgrounds from the Flipping Stencils episode (link below), building the journal page with stamping and collaging. My own PaperArtsy stamp designs are in the mix (EAB38 Umbellifer Edition), along with plenty of Idea-ology ephemera by Tim Holtz, including one of the wonderful Paper Dolls at the heart of things.
Apart from my own stamp designs, I bought the products used in this video myself.

When you added the paint tiles, I couldn't see your vision. Then you started adding everything else, I had an ah ha moment. It taught me to slow down, let my supplies speak to me, and to go with it. I love your page.

Thank you so much for that, Julie... It was more curiosity than a vision, to be honest. I wasn't sure how it would work out, but as you say I just felt that those little tiles had something to offer, and so I was willing to let it play out. And as it turned out, I loved the end result!

Alison, I enjoyed watching this page come to life. I like where you chose to place the little bits on top of the stenciling and stamping. Thanks so much.

A little bit of gentle collaging is really a meditative process for me... just finding out what wants to go where and following my finger tips. Happy you enjoyed it too!

These videos are aptly named. It is truly fun (and calming and educational) to watch you work through your process. And I love ❤️ that umbellifer stamp. That is a must get.

@w0rdsandp1ctures 3 ай бұрын

I love journals for those times when the mojo is feeling sluggish... if you don't like the results you can just close the journal and not look at it (or rip it out altogether!!). I hope you have fun playing, and that the mojo comes roaring back when you do.

I love your style & images. I'm undecided if the woman is standing or sitting. Maybe it shows better in person which it is. Or is she leaning back against the wall with her ankles crossed? Beautiful composition. I dislike stickers but I love rub-ons & stamps and layering.

@w0rdsandp1ctures 3 ай бұрын

Thank you. When you see her close to, I think it's pretty clear she's sitting, but in a very casual way! Happy you enjoyed the video.

These are adorable!!! I can't believe I've been throwing mine away!! Not anymore!! LOL What color pen did you outline them with? Gray or black?

@w0rdsandp1ctures 2 ай бұрын

Excellent... something else to hoard! I think you're probably referring to the teabag sachets? Even though the comment has turned up on the journalling page. They're almost certainly outlined in grey... black is pretty rare for me, though it does make an occasional outline or two. But looking at my photos (about to post some up-close details on IG), I'm pretty sure it's grey in this case. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
