Triangles on Tuesday

'T'  could be for Triangle...

triangles could represent jagged teeth,

broken dishes, or happy pennants

flapping in the wind...

The Documented Life Challenge

for Week 7 was to:  

Draw a shape. Repeat. Add color.

I decided on triangles...

when finished I thought that the

triangles seemed aggressive. 

They create stars when intersected...

which was unintentional, but it's the

nature of the geometry.

OK.

 I couldn't resist making 

some circles too.  They seem

much calmer.  It's hard to stop

adding doodles!

Shape Up!

Michelle Ward's GPP Street Team Blog
Crusade No. 27 is called
Shape Up!
She challenged us to explore
a shape: think positive & negative,
large & small...

These Art Journal pages were first painted
with watercolors for the background.
Primitive bird shapes were cut
from paper and then pastels
applied to the bird shape. I laid
the shape onto the journal page
and rubbed the pastel from
the stencil onto the journal
page, creating a stencil of the negative
shape. Hand-carved bird stamps
were added & quotes in calligraphy.
I also included the stencil shapes
by gluing them to the page as well.
