Here's my very first spread in my 10x10cm (4x4") journal! I smooshed some acrylics onto the pages first, and then adhered gel-print scraps over parts of it. I followed this by brushing in some gesso and white acrylic. I then used some stamps with dye ink. For some of the stamps, I misted water before…

A Dash of Doodles – 4

It's been some time since I last made a larger Zentangle-inspired doodle, because my 100-day project has been using up most of my creative time.

Here's another round of ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) from my 100 Day Project - My family and I have been under the weather on and off, and my creative pursuits have also suffered consequently. I'm quite a bit behind on my ATCs, and I'm making them whenever the mood strikes. I hope I'll get back…

100 Days of ATCs (2023) – 2

Here's the next installment of my 100 Day Project, where I spend time on ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) for a hundred days - I was under the weather for a few days, so haven't spent time lately on my ATCs. (Or on any creative endeavor, really.) I feel better now, but haven't resumed my crafty…
