Food for the Soul

Week 9 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal,
my art project for 2020.

The journal prompt this week
from France Papillon was
food.

As I am working in an art journal,
I wanted to make the focus of my page about art
& why it is so important to me.

I used a Tim Holtz Paper Doll,
a butterfly image
from the Graphics Fairy,
torn dictionary paper,
words cut from an old novel,
printed text &
K-ology Hannah patterned paper.

I used
a white Posca paint pen,
black Sakura Pigma Micron pen,
photo corners by Paperchase,
& washi tape.

For the bases of the
Art Journal Cards & Inchies I used
Tim Holtz idea-ology kraft paper stash.

Taking it one note at a time ...

Week 8 in my
Mellow Kraft
Journal,
my art project for 2020.

The journal prompt this week

music.

My Spotify playlists are
the soundtrack in my art studio.

I used an image from
the Graphics Fairy.
torn dictionary paper
(added after these photographs were taken),
words cut from an old novel,
printed text &
K-ology Hannah patterned paper.

I used
Distress Marker (black soot),
black Sakura Pigma Micron pen,
photo corners by Paperchase,
& washi tape.

For the bases of the
Art Journal Card & Inchies I used
Tim Holtz idea-ology kraft paper stash.

I will call this page finished for now,
but I'll be back ...

As promised ...

I added more doodling.

I added more hidden journaling.

This photograph shows
the dictionary paper &
the hidden doodles.
