What I'm creating: Here is my ICAD for the 4th, very appropriate for today.
I made a canvas for a friend today. It is much simpler than I normally make things because I did not make it collage style, but I love the way it turned out. I used a ribbon and the simple message of strength, which can carry someone through many trials in life. For the background I used a technique I've been playing with recently. I took an old gift card and put the paint directly on the canvas (or page if I'm doing it in an art journal), then using the credit card, I spread and mixed the paint.
In journal #1 today I created a 4th of July spread about American Dreams. I left space on the white lines to fill in my own journaling and thoughts. I used bubble wrap as a stamp on one of the pages.
Journal #2: The background is watercolor and I used magazine clippings and my new washi tape.
Journal #3: This is the page that I made the background on yesterday. It still looks a little bare though, so I am trying to think of what else to put on this page. I might write quotes maybe? Any ideas?
Tonight I will fall asleep to the sounds of fireworks in the night. What did you all do for the 4th?
Much love.
