CMP17 week 11

Dylusions paints, stencils, Distress inks.

My HIM journal

I’ve done more in my HIM tribute journal. I’m not trying to match the backgrounds to the lyrics in any real sense. I’m just enjoying reading through the lyrics to find the words that most speak to me, and creating pages with supplies I love.

CMP17 week 9

This week’s page uses Dina Wakley paints, a Stencil Girl stencil and FudeBall pen. I don’t normally include photos, especially of me, in my journal but it seemed appropriate this week.

 

 

HIM tribute album

A few years back I was introduced to the band HIM via the wonderful artist Michelle Ward. Tony and I both loved HIM instantly and have most of their albums. Tony just likes the sound, I think, but there’s something in their lyrics that speaks to my heart. I have often used their words in my journal pages.

Recently they announced a worldwide tour (but, sadly, not to NZ) and that they’re disbanding. I am pleased they’re going on to other creative adventures, but I will miss their presence in my life. I’ve decided to do a small art journal – just 14cm square –  featuring all the lyrics that speak so much to me. Here’s the first two pages.

CMP weeks 9 & 10

I didn’t get a chance to post last week’s so having  wee catch-up. I’ve rediscovered my FW and Pearlescent acrylic inks, which are a nice change from my usual paints. A couple of them had dried out, which is a good reminder to actually use the supplies you love, not just hoard them!
