Kasia Avery at Everything Art
is running an
Advent Calendar
event this December.
I made another journal to use for this project,
using up spare paper
from the handmade notebook
I made back in June.
I really enjoyed working
in it for Eliza's Art Jar class.
The cover for the new one uses
a graphic from Shawn Petite.
One signature with
six pieces of paper,
stitched with string,
gives me a journal with 24 pages.
This journal is 4 x 5½ inches,
just slightly smaller than my Art Jar Journal.
I prepped the pages with watered down
white gesso primer
from Daler-Rowney.
To add some base colour,
I used acrylic paints
from Eco Green Crafts
(Orchard & Butternut).
Then I added some Distress Inks
(tattered rose & antique linen).
Kasia suggested gathering
a few key supplies together
& keeping them neat & tidy
& readily accessible,
so I will be using the same Art Box as
yes, you guessed it,
my Art Jar Self-Edition class.
With the previous projects supplies
tidied away & refilled with my new choices.
I will be using watercolour pencils
by Faber-Castell.
I have also selected some design tape
from Tim Holtz to include
& a small Tando Creative mask
called "Criss Cross".
If you would like to join in,
registration for this free class
closes on 5th December 2018.
