ART on Friday


The first Friday of September - has the summer ever gone by quickly.
Here are a few things I have been working on this week:

Colour Me Positive
This week at LuLuArt, the theme is travel.
Hans Christian Anderson had it right: "To travel is to live."
Travel also broadens the mind, allowing us to walk in others' shoes and see how they live their lives.



Tag a Day and New Challenge
Tara Leaver posted a new 7 day mini art project earlier this week and I started it yesterday.
We are to create a small series of artwork over 7 days.

I decided to create 7 small pieces (6x5 1/2"). Each day I plan to add a different layer until I have at least 7 layers.
I decided also, to do this with my art tags for this month - doing a different set of 7 each week.

First layer:spray inks

Second layer: stamping
Third layer: printing with bubble wrap
Fourth layer: stencilling (using a stencil with small circles) - this is a view of the tags

Tomorrow I will add torn and unique papers.Then I plan on adding used stamps, and printing with my own handcarved stamps. 
(I have also been inspired by Jane Davies with her series of collages.)

I also did a tag for ABC Wednesday this week - for H.



 Show Your Face
I decided that for September I would also sketch a face a day. I've missed that over the summer. .Kim Dellow has a great challenge each week at her blog.

ART on Friday




It is Friday once again - and time to share some of the art projects I have been working on this week.

Colour Me Positive
For "Colour Me Positive",(at LuLu Art)  this week's quote is one of my favourites's, by one of my favourite actresses - Audrey Hepburn.



Tag a Day
This month I am continuing with collaged tags with a word each day. Here are F to I:


I also created two tags for ABC Wednesday this week:



Zen a Day
For August I have been trying to create a small zen square a day. Here are the first 12:



ATCs
I've worked on a couple of swaps:

Zen Hearts

Superhero - an individual swap


Creating these ATCs is fun - taking part in the swaps quite enjoyable. Check here at ATCs For All to see all the themed swaps available.

Some more flowers from our garden and a cardinal who stopped by to visit.

ART on Friday


I am returning to my weekly check-in after a few weeks on holiday. It is necessary to take a break once in a while - then you are eager to return to routines feeling refreshed.
I haven't done a lot of art this week, but have started a couple of projects for August: a zen a day and word tags for my tag-a-day for 2016.

Zen a Day
I created a square a day of some of my favourite zens. I want to try new ones as I go through the month - a bit more of a challenge.



Tag a Day
For this month, I plan to create collages from all my scraps of gelli papers and then choose a word each day, following the letters of the alphabet. Here are the first 5:



I also got caught up with the new round of ABC Wednesday - It was D this week though.



Colour Me Positive
I have several weeks to catch up with this weekly challenge from LuLuArt, but here is this week's quote and journal response:



Photography
Here are a few photos from our trip south -

In Helen, Georgia - what a great name for a candy store!

Art on Friday


Time for a share of some of the art I have created this week and a look at some of the themes of challenges I participated in.

Paper, Paint , Pencils, Pens!
This art community posts 2 themes a month and we all respond to it in different ways.
I created my second watercolour self-portrait this week, by looking in a mirror. My concentration made me appear much more serious.



Tag a Day
I am continuing with my 366 day project - with 4 more collaged tags as well as 1 tag for ABC Wednesday weekly challenge (A is for Arrow)

.



Colour Me Positive
I am enjoying the weekly journal challenge at Colour Me Positive. The quote relates to living fully each day and also encouraged us to use lyrics in our spread.


(I tried for layers - with inks, paint, stencils and stamps - it is a wee bit "Busy"!)


52 Card Pick-up
The theme for this weekly card challenge on facebook  this week was "Today". I related it to living our dreams.
