Today we enjoyed lunch on the terrace at the EYE restaurant. The view is stunning and the food was delicious!

We plan on going back another time to visit the museum!

JumpStart Your Creativity in January 2020!

Meanwhile on Instagram

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

Creative JumpStart 2020 | Day 25⁠ [ad] ⁠⠀ If you've been a part of CJS, then you may remember that @joerotella's project did not involve anything like paper or stamps or paint.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ However, he worked on a transparent substrate, and that gave me the idea of making an insert for my CJS journal using @grafixartsplastics Dura-Lar.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I shared my step-by-step process on the @birgits_mixed_media_art_crew⁠ feed over the past week. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So be sure to check that out if you're curious to see how this page spread evolved.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Happy Valentine's Day! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ----------⁠⠀ Please note that though this is not a sponsored post, the Dura-Lar I mention in this post was sent to me by Grafix.⁠⠀ #craftinspo #jumpstartyourcreativity #cjs20 #creativejumpstart #cjs2020 #creativesuperpower #joerotella #creativejumpstart2020 #artjournal #artjournaling #BMMAC #birgitsartcrew #birgitkoopsen #birgitkoopsenforcarabellestudio #carabellestudio #gelliarts #gelliartsmade #mixedmedia #rubberstamping #stenciling #rubberstamps #artstamps #mixedmediajournal #mixedmediacollage #artjournallove #grafixartsplastics #artjournaleveryday
