I really enjoyed using fabric on my art journal pages today. The most fun part of this was the way the fabric feels once it is laid down on the pages. You can use Mod Podge or even Matte medium for applying the fabric.
It was a great project to learn even more about mixed media with.
I hope you will enjoy the process video with voice over.
I have been blogging and doing Youtube video’s for 7 (yes SEVEN) years and until a month or so ago, was clueless of how to really edit them effectively. I was chatting with my friend Candace via Skype and it was that evening I had my fast forward skills down.
Then I learned to split, trim and fast forward. Added music, learned how to sequence the video and now… yes bless my soul, I am now (not good yet) a voice over gal. Thank you Youtuber’s who have uploaded how to do a voice over in windows movie maker. You helped me out a lot.
So, here it is. My first flipped, edited, split, trimmed and now voice over video. Let me know if you like the new format.
With the magic of Video editing and the fact you can “super” speed up taped footage, I offer for your enjoyment this process video of my latest art journal page lay out “Dreams can take you any where”.
I used my art dolls from Accucut Craft for the mermaid that you see as the focal point of this page. She was cut from medium weight chip board as well as patterned paper from K&Company. The other supplies I already have on hand as part of my “art” journal box.
I really loved the play with the colors and textures. I used bubble wrap for some of the texture. Even though I cut it out of the video, some of the color on the doll herself was done with my pan pastels. Very easy to use, easy to work with and very fun. I am getting better with small simple faces and have ordered a few art-journal type books for inspiration.
Here’s today’s video:
I am also enjoying many youtube video’s of those of you who have been and are still doing art journal pages for yourselves. Keep up the good work, you are all a great inspiration.
The last still picture is just for fun. Like many women, I have days that resemble this little cartoon.
Please think of us tomorrow. Abby will be going into the Fort Meade Vet tomorrow morning to have her spay surgery. Having an animal under general anesthesia makes me nervous. They are more than capable of taking good care of her and I will be only o thankful to have her return home a little worse for wear but healthy.
Have a great week. Stamp happy and always bless others. With Love!
Today I have three different projects for you to enjoy
here is the first, it is a flip of the art journal I am currently working in:
The second is a two page layout that I did a partial process video on. Problem is, I know I was recording but somehow the footage did not transfer to my computer. The video is still a good one and I certainly enjoyed the progress.
here is that video:
Last, and by no means least is todays RCAD #29 (Rolodex card a day) It is basically based upon the art journal page I did earlier today. I followed the inspiration of Vicki click her name for her Youtube channel. You will be inspired by her wonderful art journaling skills.
Here is the RCAD Video:
I hope that you will enjoy these video’s, pictures and the music. If you do not enjoy Christian music, please just turn your speakers off. I also hope that you will become inspired to try some art journaling pages for yourself. It is very therapeutic in many ways.
It reminds me of the days when we were small children and having fun with finger paints.
Welcome to RCAD #28. Rolodex card a day! I’ve been so inspired as of late by so many of your youtube channel’s, blogs and other creative on-line sharing. I am truly blessed to have so many of you as friends.
It has been a beautiful Sunday. This week promises to be fun with a nice get together with a friend for lunch and stamp time on Tuesday as well as a not so fun day on Wednesday when Abby goes to the vet to be Spayed.
The two girl dog’s are really bad about digging under the fence. I saw a few idea’s of how to solve the problem. One of which is using those collars like the vet’s use after a dog has surgery. I plan to buy two. Besides Abby will need one after Wednesday.
I hope you will enjoy today’s RCAD #28 progress video. I’m really enjoying learning about different mediums and how to use them. As I stated above, I also enjoy reading periodicals, and watching the artistic work of others.
