"SHE IS" Art Journal Page & Video

Hello lovelies,

I've been asked to produce a sample for Marisa from Create on Ormond where my 101 series of art journaling classes starts this weekend. Marisa asked me to use a Donna Downey face stamp,so I thought what better way to showcase her than as a mixed media portrait!

I went with my muse for this month - the flower portraits from the Italian Masterpieces exhibition that I went to and blogged about here.  The stamp I chose is "SHE IS" - which I already had in my stash as I love her!:



So in keeping with my new resolution to provide a little "more" for my followers, I have produced this video of my process.  I have taken on board the helpful comments I received from you about my first video attempt - I faced the camera (who doesn't hate themselves on video?) and sped up the "non-speaking" sections a little more.

I hope that you enjoy, and please provide me with feedback!

  4. Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'm recording Art Journaling 101 at the moment - some of which will be available for free. I'll try and slip some other art into the recording mix, but I'm still pretty slow at editing - it currently takes me longer to edit the video than to make the art!!

    1. Thanks Marisa! The supply thing is a bit chicken and egg - I can't resist buying art supplies, so I need to justify using them, which means there is always something else that I want...
