Autumn in Abstract

 Hello everyone 

I hope you all had a creative weekend? 

I had a whole Sunday to myself what a treat 

but with so many things on my creative to do list 

I was overwhelmed where to start or what to do... 

Looking through my online courses I noticed a bonus workshop 

had dropped into my Soulful Abstracts course by Laly Mille.. 

This is where Sunday took me. 

Orange is not my colour, you may be shocked by this as my 

Art Journey Journal theme is *My Favourite Colour is October* 

Nature wears Orange so much better than I ever could. 

This workshop takes you on a journey facing your fears of 

unconfident colour, introducing it into your artwork alongside 

colours you're more comfortable with which for me are mainly neutral.

Layering unfavoured paper scrap colours, scribbling on shades of 

orange neocolour II's. All blended into the background by finger 

smudging white gesso, random stamping and dark inky drips. 

I call this mixed media piece *Autumn in Abstract*

 

now I feel the need to create something in purple 😏

Wishing you all a very Creative week

Oh so lovely Vintage

 Hello everyone 

Yay for the weekend... 

I'm late sharing this but better late than never.

 

Last weekend I had some spare crafty time but spent most of 

it discovering unfinished projects, I found some lovely things.

This junk journal spread was Inspired by a Lifebook 2021 tutorial 

by Laly Mille called hiding places started way back in early July. 

The little envelope holds a book full of old music and book pages 

over stamped decorated with lace scraps, washi and postage stamps.

I never tire of using this stamp, my favourite of the 

moment it always leaves an impressive mark. Stamped 

onto an embellished postcard with a washi tape hinge.

When opened it reveals a stamped flower image, sentiment 

and a tag pocket to hide little secrets and precious things..

I could spend every crafty day creating junk journal pages like these...

Happy weekend everyone 

Stay safe & Creative 

Hugs Tracey xx
