    Art Journal Page for the Week

    This was a bad week for me.  I wasn’t feeling well most of the week but I was able to art journal a little as well as finish up some atcs for a Doctor Who swap and some atcs for a Art Journal swap.

    I really like how this page turned out.  It is one of my favorites.  Reading is also one of my escapes too so I included part of a page from a book though its just a dictionary page.

    Punchinella Two ATC Swap

    I recently received my returns from the ATCsforAll Punchinella Swap.  For this swap we had to incorporate punchinella on our cards; like using it as a stencil or actually placing it on the card. Punchinella in case you have never heard of it is the material left behind after sequins have been punched out of it.  It is sometimes called sequin waste.  Below is a picture of what it looks like.

    Below are the cards I received from the swap.

    “My Hero”by Julia R.
    “True”by Lori C.

    Here are the cards I created for the swap which also includes a thank you card for the hostess.

    Art Journal Pages for the Week

    Not much this week.  There would have been one more as it is almost finished but I have a really bad headache today so I decided to finish it next week.

    I recently purchased a domain just for my art, Unwavering Imagination.  It should be all set up in the next few weeks.  Once it is that will be where I will be posting all art related blog posts. As well as a gallery of everything I create.  I will also move all the art posts on this blog to the new one but they will also remain here.  New posts however will only be on the new site.

    Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend!
