Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

This week was hectic as I was preparing for my teacher yard sale. I was told that many teachers would be on holidays - and they were right. Not as much stuff went altho I made over $200.
So half of the stuff went back in the house - to wait for another Saturday. Then it will be gone for good.
Bittersweet to see it go - but the few teachers who did come were happy with the prices and what they bought.

Collage Obsession/ Daily Paper Prompt
Tammy at Daisy Yellow continues with her Daily Paper Prompt and I am already behind. Today when I looked at Day 4  and saw it was flowers, I knew I could combine this with the challenge at Collage Obsession - gardening.
Once I had the quote, the rest fell in place. The background I watercolour and the flowers are gelli papers.

Day 3 of the Daily paper challenge was "Drips" - what fun to drip paint and make a mess!

 

 

 

 

Tangle A Day

I am really enjoying the Tangle a Day challenge at Jane Monk's blog. I have been using her sting and some of her tangles. Some are very challenging and I need to keep practicing.

Here are 4 more.

 

 

ATCs
I created 2 henna hands for a swap this week - fun to do. Not your typical ATC swap.

 

I have a few swaps I still must work on the next few days.

 

Just a note - I will be taking a break from the computer for 10 days. Time to spend some time with my hubby and take some day trips and some rest and relaxation for him.

See you in 2 weeks!

Sunday Weekly Wrap-Up

This past week has flown by. Hard to believe we are already in August!
Check here for the collages I created earlier in the week for Inspiration Ave.,Collage Obsession and Opus Gluei.
I have finished the ICAD project (check here for my overview) and started 2 new daily challenges!

1. Tangle a Day
 Jane  Monk has inspired me to create a tangle a day on an index card for the month of August . Her project is to create a tangle a day for a year. Be sure to visit her blog - she creates such beautiful tangles.

I am slowly learning the different zentangles. Each day I am using the string she provided for that day and at least one new zentangle.
Here are the first 4:

(I used a sharpie rather than a micron pen and I am not as happy with the result. The backgrounds will be gelli papers as I like the effect of black on colour)

2. Daily Paper Prompt
Tammy at Daisy Yellow has a new challenge "the Daily Paper or Word Prompt. Each day she provides a word and we respond to it in any medium or technique. The index card were fun but I am using a large journal for this challenge. I am already behind!

Day 1: Rainbow

Day 2:  Window

I am also using this for "Square" - the challenge at Art Journal Journey.





ATCs
I also worked on some ATCS. (Some I did not scan.)
Here is the Lincoln APC.

I have been doing more reading and going through the Inner Excavation exercises. I have not finished the larger piece I started for Chapter 2. I will share it next week.
 (As I share photos with several challenges,  I decided not to share any on Sunday so that the post did not go on and on and on!)
