Red

10 August 201312 May 2017 | Marsha.

From Antwerp with love!

Had a lovely day, bought new ~~red~~ shoes at my favourite shoe store*, ate wonderful food and walked quite a distance.

Will share the #leftovergrams tomorrow!

* Not red… I just couldn’t justify another pair of red shoes. Not even for this post!

JumpStart Your Creativity in January 2020!

Meanwhile on Instagram

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 31 [ad]⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @jameslukeburkecreative's video lesson was the one that concluded CJS2020!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I always enjoy listening to James talk about his work, and I loved the exercise he shared in his CJS video. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It's an exercise you can do over and over again. Especially when you're stuck or whenever you're keen to shake up your style, routine or go-to supplies.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ For this page, I coloured stamped images of @natkalbach's @rubbermoon Maiko while exploring and combining lots of different mediums.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In the background, you see Nat's Art Deco Empire Stencil for @stencilgirl_products.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Thanks so much, James for the fab lesson!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ----------⁠⠀ Please note that though this is not a sponsored post, I used to be on @natscreativesquad and I’m a columnist for @stencilgirl_products #jameslukeburke #jlbcreative #natkalbach #rubberstamps #stampsandink #nathaliekalbach #natscreativesquad #mixedmediatechniques #rubbermoon #artjournaleveryday #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #creativejumpstart #creativejumpstart2020 #cjs2020 #creativesuperpower #mixedmediaforbeginners #artjournalingideas #markmakingart #mixedmedium #rubberstamping #artastherapy

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 14 + 29 [ad]⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When it comes to online workshops and events like Creative JumpStart, I believe in using what you already have at home. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ However, sometimes a teacher shares about an art supply you don't have but would love to add to your arsenal.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Like the water-soluble graphite pencil @jodiohl used in her CJS video. I've wanted one for so long now, that I skipped the lesson and put the pencil on my to-buy list.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @artnewwave, on the other hand, shared how he creates art using items from the hardware store.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm sure we have some spackle somewhere in the house, but why would I use that when I already have more texture pastes in my stash than I will ever use.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I decided that yes, I was going to use wall paint (emerald, from our basement cupboard) and yes, I could use that drywall tape that I've kept in my glue drawer since forever, but no, I wasn't going to look for the spackle.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ And, this is what I ended up with!⠀ ⁠⠀ Thanks, John, for the out-of-the-box lesson.⠀ ⁠⠀ As said, I'm saving Jodi's lesson for when I finally get my hands on the pencil. Which means... that for now, I have only one more lesson to go.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Only one!⁠ 😱😱😱⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ----------⁠⠀ Please note that though this is not a sponsored post, the Dina Wakley Media Collage Paper I used to create this page was generously given to me by @dinawakley.⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠#jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #creativejumpstart #creativejumpstart2020 #cjs2020⁠ #creativesuperpower #johncreightonpetersen #mixedmediatechniques #artjournalingforbeginners #artjournalingideas #showusyourMEdia #rangerink #dinawakleymedia #mixedmediatechniques #mixedmediaforbeginners #mixedmedium #creativepractice #mixedmedia #mixedmediacollage #housepaint

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 27 [ad]⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ With four more CJS days to do and only three pages left in my journal, I have to resort to extremer measures.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So for my take on @autourmwa's excellent CJS video lesson on layering I decided to work on the cover!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The cover was already @gelliarts gel printed from the start, so I only had to add more layers on top.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I used stencils designed by Abs himself and stamps by @loolabellesartystuff, both for @aallandcreate.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Thanks, Abs for the super fun video and for helping me rediscover my Inktense pencils!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ----------⁠⠀ Please note that this is not a sponsored post. However, I am a @gelliarts brand ambassador.⁠⠀ #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #creativejumpstart #cjs2020 #creativesuperpower #autourdemwa #creativejumpstart2020 #artjournal #artjournaling #gelliarts #gelliartsmade #mixedmedia #stamping #stenciling #clearstamps #mixedmediajournal #artjournallove #artjournaleveryday #aallandcreate #aallandcreatestamps #aallandcreatestencils #mixedmediaartjournal #mixedmediaart #stencilart #gelliplate #gelliprint #mixedmedialove #artjournallove #inktense #inktensepencils

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 26 [ad]⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Whenever your page or print misses a little something, neon is always the answer.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Mary Beth Shaw (@mbshaw) used neon orange in her fab CJS 2020 video. Following her lead, I used fluorescent pink for this abstract page.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Fluorescent colours never show up in photos the way they look in reality. So you'll have to take my word for it and imagine the pink blobs a lovely fluor pink!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I admire Mary Beth's layered abstract paintings and collages. She makes creating her work look super easy. However, I know it's not. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ There's a thin line between 'overworked' and 'just right'. I, for instance, should have stopped way before this spread ended up the state it's now in. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Funnily enough, I felt restricted by the size of my journal again. In other words: maybe I really should try doing some 'on the fly' experiments on a much larger scale!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We'll see.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Thanks so much, Mary Beth! I always learn something from watching your videos and this time, was no exception! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ----------⁠⠀ Please note that I'm a @stencilgirl_products columnist and though this is not a sponsored post, the Oval Grate stencil designed by Mary Beth Shaw was sent to me to use in one of my columns.⁠⠀ #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #creativejumpstart #creativejumpstart2020 #cjs2020 #creativesuperpower #mixedmediatechniques #marybethshaw #lifeofanartist #carveouttimeforart #stencilgirl #stencilgirlproducts #stencilgirl_products #stencils #mixedmediaart #mixedmedia #mixedmedia #mixedmediacollage #abstract_art⁠
