Art Journal Online - Art Journaling by Artist Ruth Dailey

~ Art Supplies used

Wanted to get off to a start with journaling following my success with the sketchbook so dove right in - and made a journal using Tessha Moores easy method and created a 16 page journal out of Rives printing paper.

For my double page for day 1 I started painting with golden liquid acrylics, added alcohol inks ( which bled through immediately) drew circles with my handy stencil, used hand carved stamps and purchased ones with Stayz-on stamp pads- did a bit of zendoodling and coloring with Pitt pens and a dust up with pan pastels.

I found some metallic aterial that had holes in in and went crazy stamping with white paint - love'd the results. All done for Day 1

Thank you for submitting your art journal page

~ I enjoy the way your zentangle circel edges tunred up with some beautiful shading work

~ The mixed media layering background adds a very rich depth to the piece... very playful

~ I like the new little growing plant on the left hand bottom corner of your art journaling page .. to me a symbol of a little plant waiting to raise its full beauty toward the sun and get ready to receive lots of nourishing in return

thanks for sharing
