Techniques on Tuesday

My most often used techniques:

Drawing, painting and collage.

magazine, while watching a British murder

mystery on Netflix~ "Midsomer Murders."

  Couldn't resist adding that quote to the page!

Sharpie pen, blue watercolor, phone book

pages, and magazine scraps.  Click on the

I am faithfully keeping up - barely -

with The Documented Life Project, which

has a new 'prompt' each week.  While I 

usually get one page done (the tip-in)

 for the prompt each week, often

 the pages underneath have to wait days or

weeks to get completed. Sometimes they 

follow the prompt, but sometimes not.

Above, more faces from Week 35. The

journal also includes 'planner pages' with

my activities and appointments for

that week. I decorate and doodle on 

them too, but don't usually show 

them in order to maintain privacy-

at least some semblance of it.

Above, from week 33 ~ the prompt was to 

use your 'under papers' in your art.  Which 

meant whatever type of paper you had under

the art work you were creating, that might have

 splatters, scrapes, scribbles and drips of paint, 

or ink on it. Above, deli paper, painted papers, 

watercolor,  acrylic, Sharpie & gel pens, 

with words from a food packaging carton.

Above, Week 34 prompt  of DLP was to include

 numbers on your page.  I think these collages 

ended up being more successful than 

the initial tip-in page. (using my grocery list!)

Some unfinished pages...not sure what 

more to include, but there will probably be

 quotes and doodles involved...

from Children's Book of Knowledge, 1953,

along with decorative tape and notepad paper.

Pumpkins and Fall decorations began 

appearing around my house in the 

middle of August. My daughter thought

 it was a bit premature.

Linking up with Elizabeth's T - Tuesday party,

and showing a 'virtual' coffee mug 

from my art journal.  Pop over 

to T-Tuesday to see what's new...

There may be more Fall arts and crafts to come

here on the blog...what do you think?
