A Journal Page about Scribbling

"An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many and grows inveterate in their insane hearts." Juvenal

I submitted this art journal page along with another one for publication in a book for quotes.  I was excited when I found out that one of my artworks will be in the book.  The journal page above did not get selected, but I really like the mark making, scribbling, layering of colors and the quote. 

Sharing it with Glue it Tuesday!

Thanks for reading!  Best wishes, Marcia

Rest your Soul

Here is a small collage I made for the Inspiration Avenue challenge of the week.. using a damask image in your artwork.  It also fits the monthly Artists in Blogland challenge of "Soul".  I like using challenges in making art because it provides a focus or set of limitations that helps to come up with an idea.  Okay, so I *think* that is a damask stencil, right?  I hadn't heard of the term before but I was comparing the images provided to my stencils and I'm pretty sure that is a damask.  The colored letters below are old scrapbooking letters that I hadn't used and the black letters are these fun old rub-ons I had.  An penpal from several years ago sent me a HUGE package of ones she no longer wanted.  They are super old and the packaging must be from the 70's, but they still work. Also check out My Mojo Monthly.

A lot of people rave about Beth Moore. This is a book I read by her. Have you read any books by her? If so, what did you think?

 

First pages from the Inscribed Workshop

I am taking an online workshop that I won through a giveaway with Traci Bautista.  It is called Inscribed and it just started, so you could probably still sign up if you want to.  School starts soon and since I am a teacher I will be busy in the next couple weeks so I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up with every lesson.  The first lesson included exercises about using found color swatches.
