finally back to the art journaling! i signed up for dirty footrprint studio's "21 secrets" back in march and finally opened it up and got started last weekend. thank goodness it's a self-paced class, right? the class looked like a good deal with 21 lessons from 21 different artists. it appears that there are videos plus pdfs from each artist. i did dina wakley's lesson, "intuitive painted layers," first as i know dina rocks it. she did. i was a bit scared of this one at first, but i love how it turned out in the end (you were so right briana). i hope to crank out all 21 lessons this summer. yay summer vacation!
i can't give away any of dina's secrets as i know how hard she works. but i did want to tell you of a couple little snippets about my page. as in i finally scored a julie balzer crafter's workshop cloud stencil and used it even. la la love. i love clouds. i love stencils. i love julie art. what's not to love?
i also used several of my new tim holtz distress stains that may and terena talked me into buying. dina suggests using two similar tones of paint which i mostly didn't have. instead i used a paint and a stain. there was a learning curve, but i'm thinking i will be playing with this combo a lot and i'm proud to have used more unused things.
hope to be back with another art journal sample soon! i'm thinking julie's lesson will be next! :)
