365 Somethings - 342 - 351

This week I really thought I’d slowed down, but when I uploaded the week’s images for my 365 somethings project I found 10 images!  Looks like I’ll ‘finish’ this project before the end of November, but I’m having so much fun I will continue to post until the end of the year.

First up is a journal page, making use of some scraps on hand and lots of doodling. 342

Next is all drawn with Posca markers on a black background (painted granola box).  343

344 is another journal page that makes use of some leaves I cut out from a map ages ago that just unearthed themselves this week.  :)

345 started as they often do with some paint from another project.

346 saw me continue to play around with that great chartreuse paint I bought in Vancouver from Kroma paints.

347 - defies description.

348 - I’ve got out a bunch of little ARTchix Studio images for another project I’m working on and some of them are winding up in the journal. :)

349 - playing with the crimson paint I bought at Kroma on the same trip.  Such wonderful colours.

350 - more little ARTchix images.

And last but not least, 351.

 

Thanks so much for visiting me today - I hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s work!

 

 

Sunday Postcard Art - Scarecrows

This week’s theme at Sunday Postcard Art is Scarecrows.  I have to admit I thought this one might just stump me.  I don’t have any scarecrow stamps, and I don’t think I have any scarecrow images.  Then I thought - what is a scarecrow if not just some clothes stuffed with straw?  After that it was easy.  I had to move the sleeves around a bit, but I thought this fancy jacket would make a great haute couture scarecrow.  I added a crown.  I don’t think the birds are very scared though!

Since my birds are seeing hearts, I will also count this as my 341st addition to the 365 Somethings project.

365 Somethings - 334 - 340

This week I continued to not do a daily contribution to my 365 Somethings project.  Because I’m ahead on that project I have been working on other stuff and just adding a few hearts as I go along.  

With all that said I somehow managed to get seven this week anyway... Since I do multiples some days and dont’ keep track it’s always a bit of a surprise!

Here is a page I made in my kraft journal - I haven’t been using it much for the last couple of weeks and it was good to get back in it.  (334)

And another page.  (335)

336 was half of a lottery game card - kind of like a bingo card.  It’s quite small and will likely get mounted on a greeting card at some point. (336)

337 was a bingo card in my favourite colour combination.  Just because.

338 in honour of Hallowe’en.  I have used these cats before - they’re from a very old fortune telling game I bought on eBay years ago.  I have not used the originals.

I found this little chipboard book in my supply cupboard and decided to try it out.  The pages are 4” square.  I’ve done quite a few but this is the only one so far that featured a heart.  (339)

340 is another page in the kraft journal.  

That’s it for this week - thanks so much for joining me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday Postcard Art - Owls

This week’s theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Owls.  A great theme for this time of year.  We hear two types of owl in our area - great horned owl and barred owl.  They each have very distinct calls, but are rarely seen as they are both nocturnal.  According to the vintage bird book where I found this image, this is a “long eared” owl. 

Sunday Postcard Art - Edgar Allan Poe

This week’s theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Edgar Allan Poe. 

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Sunday Postcard Art - Vintage Children

Who doesn’t love vintage pictures of kids posing, usually with very serious expressions, and sometimes improbable props?  That’s the theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art.  

This darling little girl is from a collage sheet from Paper Whimsy.  Thanks for joining me today, and remember Sunday Postcard Art is open to everyone each week.

Sunday Postcard Art - Unique

This week, the theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Unique.  A great theme and I’m sure there will be lots of fun entries.  Why not visit the site to see them, or even play along if you’re so inclined!

Sunday Postcard Art - Into the Woods

This week’s theme at Sunday Postcard Art is Into the Woods (or Trees or Forest).  I started out with something else in mind, but ended up with this, which I am quite pleased with.  Image from ARTchix Studio.  

Sunday Postcard Art is a fun weekly challenge.  Anyone can join!  There is no need to commit to playing every week - lots of people come and go as the themes interest them.  I hope to see you there one day!

Sunday Postcard Art - Alice in Wonderland

This week’s theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Alice in Wonderland.  I’ve done the white rabbit and several versions of the Cheshire Cat so I decided to give Alice her time in the spotlight today.  I know she never got quite this big, but that’s artistic license!

Sunday Postcard Art - Venus

This week’s theme for Sunday Postcard Art is Venus.  I don’t have any ‘Venus’ stamps or anything, so I took some artistic license.  In Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Venus is emerging from a sea shell.  So I found this lovely lace with a sea shell hat and I want to say, shoulder pads?  Epaulets?  :) From ARTchix Studio, of course.

Words from the song by Frankie Avalon.  I looked it up and it came out in 1959, which is a few years before I was born, but somehow it is in my ‘soundtrack’.

Remember - anyone can play along!  Just make a card to the theme, post it on your blog and post the link at https://sundaypostcardart.wordpress.com

Because I’ve used a heart in this card, I will count it as 296 of 365 of my 365 Somethings project.

Thanks so much for your visit today!
