Arting up a Storm!

Thank you, Effy Wild for your invitation to participate in Art Bundles for Good! My brother-in-love was kind enough to purchase this form me as my Christmas gift and I have been arting up a storm.  Here's a journal spread (part of Book of Days Bootcamp) that was a supplement to Mixed Tapes 1 & 2, which, BTW, I haven't even gotten to yet since I am still working in Bootcamp. 

The Need for Connection
I got to play with lots of layers in this piece, using a new set of stencils and even cardboard stencils I created myself a while back. I am a tad disappointed that you can't see the green dots between the figures very well. I have subsequently used a darer shade of green Sakura pen so that the intention of connection between the two is much more evident.

This MDS (multiple day spread) was done all in one sitting, so the tags represent different areas where connection is imperative for me. I affixed the tags with staples. Loving the simplicity of that instead of more medium. I ran out to buy an inexpensive handheld sewing machine after completing the piece so that I can play with other means of attaching tags and other ephemera. (I hope I am more proficient with it than I was with the giant sewing machines in high school home economics class!)

Hope you are having as much fun as I am this Holiday season and that you ring in the New Year safely.  Much love to all who visit.
