Some Spray Paint & Journal Pages

I am taking Mary Ann Moss's Stencilry & Stitched & Stenciled classes. This is one of the pieces I have done so far. I am working up to the silhouette stencils--making them & spraying them. I have learned how to layer the stencils for some cool effects. I have even made my own designs! A ray burst & a flower mask/stencil. I am having FUN with it!

These next two pages are from my altered book art journal. This page was fun to do. But it doesn't feel done yet. Any suggestions? She has been like this for a while now.


This page I just did yesterday. It's watercolor, gauche & alcohol spritz. It has quite a lot of texture. I put the paint right on the page from the tubes. Some of the paint is old & drying out, that paint left blobs behind. Mostly the yellow. I like this as it is. I think I will scan it so I can use it in other projects. I have never scanned a piece of my art & reused it before!! I'm not sure why I haven't. Probably that inner critic--Darn her!!!

So have fun & don't let your inner critic get to you!!!!

Jackie over at http://lettersandjournals.blogspot.com/ left a comment on Abstract that led to a truly inspiring artist, Pamela Sukhum http://www.infinitevisionart.com/index.htm . I just love her technique. The way she uses her whole body to just flow with the paint as it is placed onto the canvas is mesmerizing.

Jackie has a survey for her upcoming magazine about letter writing and journaling. She has a love of pens & paper and finds all sorts of nifty links to such things.

Abstract

Abstract pretty much sums up me lately! Here is a pic of one of my latest canvases. I think it is done. It looks some what different "in real life". There is some mica powder in it. So it is hard to catch that shimmer.
