I suddenly realised today that it's the last weekend of June! Gosh, that month flew by - and it hasn't really felt like summer.... Even today's higher temperatures were accompanied by grey clouds and a few spots of rain!
Anyway, to fit in with how I've been doing this so far, the last weekend of each month is my chance to share with you the previous month's art journal calendar pages, and any other 'details' of the month itself :)
(Another beautiful photo from
Amy!)
I decided to make a page for Project Declutter, and as you can see I've made it a 3-month project now. (Believe me, I'm not going to run out of stuff to sort!!) I wanted a very busy border to my page and a clear, clean centre, which I sort of achieved but not quite as I'd visualised - but I'm finding art journaling very liberating in that I can experiment and try ideas out and play and not worry about whether I love the result or not because I love the process :)
On which note, here are two other art journal pages I made this month, though not as part of my one little word! I wanted to try out a couple of ideas with Glossy Accents. Here are the results:
(I used Glossy Accents here to create a 'liquid' effect inside the glass.)
(Here, each raindrop is a drop of Glossy Accents, then I drew the teardrop outline to make them stand out more.)
So the playing continues - this week I'm taking an online class with
Kirsty Wiseman; my kit arrived yesterday and I had fun cutting up all the prompts on strips of card - it gave me a few ideas of what to expect but there are a lot of surprises to come too, apparently! Can't wait :) Do you want a peek at the kit? Here you are then:
And that's sidetracked me a bit lol, but one other detail to update - I managed to meet my target of completing the first half of the
E100 readings before the end of June, yay! I've made a start on the second half already too, so I'm well on track for completing all 100 by the end of the year :)
