Hello springtime - *ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* March 2019

Jo from Let's Art Journal is this month's host at *ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY*
A nice topic where everything begins...

Then it's time to build a nest, to sing and buzz and the life has to start again.

The little bird is inspired by Geninne D. Zlatkis's from her book

"Birds in Watercolor, Collage and Ink", a great book

recommended by Claudia from Steampunk challenges.

I have used Dina Wakley paint and stencil. Some ink and pen.

Photo from a small park located right by where we live.

There I saw a small branch that I took home.

I wish you a good spring month, hugs Susan

Fossils - journal page and ATC

Welcome dear blog readers, this time it's a long post, I hope you will like it !

Come play with us at SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenges 

Fossils are some of the things I love to gather on the beach, and I become dizzy by thinking about how old these can be...

I am having fun experimenting, first with the colors of my gelli plate. I have tried to hit tones from the beach and sea, afterwards with different media with my stencil.

I have used stencil and stamp designed by Andy Skinner.

I have used different crayons to achieve depth and fullness.

Here are some details.

I have used DecoArt media:

Crackle paste, Crackle glaze, Black and white gesso

 DecoArt media fluid acrylics:

Titan buff, Dioxazine purple. Quinacridone gold, Quinacridone burnt orange,

Transparent yellow iron oxide, Translucent white, Cadmium orange hue,

Cobalt Turquoise hue, Yellow green light.

DecoArt stencil Andy Skinner Fossil and Industrial elements.

Andy Skinner stamp: ASCRS03, ASCRSH AS Fossils and

ASCSA5018 Tempting Textures.

One of my experiments was cut into ATCs.

Then stamped on tissue paper with Andy Skinner Stamps Fossils.

 I also used color pencils, wax, shapie pen, tea bags, thread,

sewing machine and tissue paper.

Come and play with us in March, at SanDee&amelie's Steampunk Challenges.

Maybe you're lucky to win big prizes.

I wish you all a fantastic month and now there is not long time to spring. ;-))

Hugs, Susan
