image transfer {art journal}

i went to washington d.c. for my big girl job this past week, and i had purchased a few new magazines to read along the way. one of the magazines was stampington's artists' cafe best of mixed media, which was excellent. in this issue, there was an article about image transfer by heather kindt.

not sure how long you all have been following this artistic journey, but, i have a thing for image transfer; so any article that talks about transfers- is a must read. heather used a fashion magazine for her images which made the transfer much easier as the paper was easy to rub away. 

i couldn't wait to get home to try this out....below is my first try using a fashion magazine image.

happy monday.

art journaling {returned}

happiness is having my art journal returned after being published.....i was super excited to mail it in to Stampington for possible publication, but, it was a little scary knowing i was mailing it away; so i was happy to have the journal safely returned on friday.

it was interesting to see which faces Stampington chose to publish in their magazine. i am going to be honest......some of those faces....(yikes). this was years worth of work for me. years of lessons and trying. 

so the first third to half of this journal.....was a bit sketchy; before i really started catching my rhythm. 

i love the collage papers that are tucked into the pages. those were mainly there to prevent me from working through the thin paper.

thank you so very much Stampington for this opportunity! grab your copy of the magazine below. it is full of goodness!! 

happy monday.
