Inspired by Nature/Junk Journal Snacks #66

You ask me every so often where I get my inspiration from. One huge source for me is nature, not only in the forest or watching animals, but also in not so obvious places, like stone. In this junk journal snacks episode, I want to create a mixed media tag and I am taking rocks as my inspiration for the background.

This looks amazing. I think the contrast of the modern numbers against the natural background is stunning. Thank you.

Thank you Barbara! Thoroughly enjoyed this ☆snack☆! I needed a little something to give me some inspiration and this did it! Yum 🥭Yum 🍓and hugs!

@matildaenlund6679 Жыл бұрын

Another yummy snack. I’m quietly amused that when you are trying to decide on something… like the black or white numbers, you choose the one I would choose! Thank you for sharing!❤️

@heatherreid9787 Жыл бұрын

I love this, its great to see someone working from something natural and using this to create an interesting background, so different from the usual stamps and stencils that you see in lots of journals. You have inspired me to spend more time on my backgrounds and keep going until I get something I like. I would never have been brave enough to use the orange but it works so well. Thank you

@allisonjames2923 Жыл бұрын

You are so right when you say we shouldn’t be afraid of ruining a piece & should just go for it. Two pieces of advice from different crafters that have always stuck with me are “why not? it’s only paper” & “if you don’t like it, it’s just not finished yet”. I try to keep them in mind when I want to be brave & try something a bit scary art wise. I really didn’t think the orange would work but once you added the water, it just made itself at home & the tag looks great! Would have been cool to change the colour of the white slightly to match the tag & use those numbers as a shadow under the black ones.

So much inspiration in unexpected places(rocks!?) Love the stitching you added to enhance the cracks, & that you found the perfect place for it in your journal!! 🧡🤗

Love this beautiful tag. Lots of texture for the eye to enjoy. You are right nature can be very inspiring .LorriMarie Jenkins is a artist from California moved to Costa Rica last year. But she just made a video using the inside of toilet paper rolls made a gorgeous journal and collected all kinds of nature stuff on her daily walks. She even used rusty pieces of metal , butterflies wings, leaves, twigs, dried flowers and more. Was beautiful. She has been featured in art magazine.

I love when you add these crazy pops of color and you say something along the lines of…. “I know this color doesn’t really seem to go with my theme, but”…. And before you know it, you can’t see this tag looking great any other way. Lol. And of course Nature would inspire you. So many beautiful things in Nature. I really enjoyed watching this snack, this morning. Great way to start my day. Thank you so much for more inspiration. ♥️♥️♥️

Barbara, ich bin hingerissen! Wie perfekt passt dieser Tag zu Hannis wunderschönem Journal. Dieser Tag ist einfach großartig, so künstlerisch ❤️. Nicht mehr einfach nur dekorativ. So toll, mal ohne Gold, Splatters, Spitze, Faden, Knöpfe. Nicht süß, nicht "hübsch", goldig oder ähnliches. Bin so begeistert, 🥰 Es ist, als ob du eine neue Qualität entdeckt hast und einfach grandios deine tolle Entwicklung miterleben zu dürfen.

Great suggestion, esp for people without a lot of money for art supplies, or who don't have easy access to supply shops! Could glue those down at an earlier point, and no one would know they were egg shells after you'd added all the painty layers on top.

I had an art date with someone recently, and brought Jenga blocks to paint (to turn into ornaments / altered blocks). Sat down, set up, laid out my blocks and my paints on a pad, poured some paint onto a palette ... and started painting the blocks with my finger! Friend just stared at me. I was like, "What? It doesn't really feel like an art date until I have paint on my hands. And besides, I have more control this way!" 😄😄😄

I would like to share a tip with you Barbara (and the rest of your JJ community). SODA-BI-CARB (or Baking Soda) is wonderful for removing distress oxide and even ink stains. With water and a bit of rubbing. I have found the stubborn colours like Villainous Potion need a bit more effort. You’ve mentioned your dislike a few times and I want to ring you up and tell you my trick lol. Hope this helps. Sending love from Australia.
