Milliande Creativity Club Free Art Education Classes Online
HOP OFF for Altered Art ATC Workshops at Milliandes Visionary Art Bus, Step by Step Art Acrylic Gel Medium Transfer Video Tutorials for Art and Mixed Media Collage Altered Art Techniques
~ I love art journaling and making minuature ATC Art works, it has given me an outlet where i can play with colour, form and texture and creatively express what I might not be able to put into just words or wish to hang on the wall with a canvas
~ When out and about I use a small moleskine notebook for my art journal and I carry some millenium marker pens, a few watercolor pencils and a soft brush to work with ... I love the size of the moleskine, the texture of the paper and the little pocket in the back for storing snippets and ideas
~ Participating in ATC Swaps givs you the opportinity to share artwork with other people on a variation of the same theme
~ Enjoy

Making Art Journal Pages with Milliande Circle Poem
Art Supplies I used :
~ a photograph printed with inkjet printer onto a sheet of paper and a sheet of non-drying acetate ( i think in america this is called transparency film )
~ golden gel medium
~ white gesso
~ cream acrylic paint
~ brushes
~ bonefolder for burnishing
~ atc's blank pieces of cardstock artist trading card size ( 2.5 "x3.5 ")
I uses a medium strenght of precut ATC;s as well as cutting my own out of mountboard ( with a craftknife and metal ruler)
~ india ink in black
~ ranger acrylic ink dabber in copper
~ calligraphy penholder and nip ( or mapping pen often used for pergamano)
~ blue watercolor crayon
I loved making these ATC's to the Journaling Prompt at the "Paper Trader" group -- Sticks and Stones - Elements of Nature
~ The photograph was taken of one of my woodcarvd root i found with a crystal egg placed in one of the hollows .. then the photograph was printed in various sizes onto paper and acetate
~ The acetate was of the type that does not dry in an inkjet printer so a simple transfer could be made by simply layering it straight onto the ATC
~ Various other acrylic gel medium transfer techniques are explored .. some with success and some definetly more of an "interesting" nature ...
~ But that is half the fun -- exploring, discovering and experimenting with the process ...
Enjoy
