the moments {a series}: no 31: cooking up something that will "pop"

Art Pops!! do you know who Roben-Marie Smith is? she has been sweating over her creative cauldron and has come up yet again, with something very cool for us to play and create with!! she has been sharing sneak peeks this week of what she has been cooking up.

i am very fortunate to have been asked to help make cool stuff with Roben's new stuff. my package came yesterday. check out her coolest tape on my package......

stop back soon to see what i will be cooking up with Roben-Marie's Art Pops!

paint, doodle, and collage in art journal


i got some new tape this weekend and wanted to give it a try. i was loving the butterflies- especially the little polka dots on the small top one....

i used a portion of another painting, known here as a "dog" to cut apart. a dog is a painting that is usually going nowhere- no hope for seeing  the light outside of the studio...and so must be used for another purpose. i used this left over to add the base for this page. i used watercolor paint to help tie the side to together along with a few doodles. this is the newest page in my art journal.

art journal- new doodles & collage

a small tree just off the porch

collage with my new napkins....love the colors and the diamond shape.

i had used the q-tips for "painting" and had to keep them because of the good colors and an excuse to use my new tape.

again...a portion of one of my new napkins with a little watercolor.

a bag full of potential

any chance i get to wander through the crafts stores, i grab! i got wander with my girlfriend when we were in the black hills. we went to michaels, and she shared her harrowing story of coming across the state the weekend before. i did actually have a purpose however, ....i was wanting sketch and wash pencils. my mom had let me borrow her pencil when we had gone to the drawing class a couple of weeks ago. i was hooked and was so wanting one for myself.

oh, and i was on the hunt for the new "smash" products. i had seen this new line in the target ad. i did find the products at michaels as well. i have been wanting that washi tape that keeps popping up everywhere, and this is pretty close i would imagine. i bought 2 rolls. :)

we also stopped at target while out on our adventure, and i scored these two so totally cute napkin packs. i used them in my journal (i will post new pages- very soon!), and am hoping to use each of these to make my own tape. i had posted previously how to make your own tape with a double stick tape from the hardware store.

feeling uninspired....

i had started this piece at my art class, and unfortunately have not gone back to it yet....i am feeling out of sort with my creative side. i was in my shop on sunday and couldn't hardly get anything to work. i don't know if it is the oppressive heat here in the midwest and my lack of wanting to do anything, or if my creative mojo took a summer vacation without me. i collaged first, and taped off the edges, and then, used matte medium to create the diamond shapes, and watercolor is what is providing the color so far.
