My colorful box of foam board arrived from Foam Board Express and I started playing. Not my usual art journal play but 3-D play. A fun colorful stenciled paper wrapped brush holders came out of the fun. This is a blog hop so that means there’s lots more to see- be sure to check out what all the artists made and be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win the prize package!
There is no bottom to these. I just wanted a colorful way to store my paint brushes and the bottom just wasn’t really needed. Plus I would have had to have used a ruler to make a bottom that worked. And you know how I feel about having to measure…
To help them stand easily I just glued them together with hot glue.
The Prize Package for one lucky winner includes:
From Foam Board Express, five 20×30 inch foam board sheets. One black, one white and the winner picks the other three colors! Color choices include: green, red, yellow, dark blue, neon yellow, neon orange and neon pink.
and StencilGirl is giving away Mary Beth’s new DVD called: StencilGirl Mixed Media Sampler Journal
How can you enter to win? By leaving a comment. Each person is eligible to leave a comment on every blog in the hop! That means 10 chances! Winner will be randomly chosen and announced on StencilGirl Talk.
I thought I was just going to read Featuring when I was asked to write a review of it. That was the plan. Then I read it and was so inspired to play that a written review just wouldn’t do it justice. I had to show you how the magazine sparked my play.
I am not even pretending that my art play here is exactly like the art in the magazine. That wasn’t my goal. My goal was to play and have fun art journaling. Thank you to the staff of Featuring and all the amazing contributors for inspiring my play with both the actual art work and the stories in the articles.
I have only mentioned some of what is the magazine. There is a wonderful article by Tammy Garcia (big fan of her work) about her creative process and how she keeps her creativity sparked. An article about mail art from around the globe. I could go on and on…
This truly is a magazine of art journaling, mixed media and more. You can find out all about Featuring here. And they have a wonderful blog this month that gives you a taste of what is in their magazine.
Just click the play button to see my video of art journaling inspired by Featuring magazine.
Stencils, a round Gelli Plate, and my art journal made for a perfect afternoon of play! I usually like layer upon layer but this page just felt right to me with the open space.
This month’s StencilClub was designed by the wonderful Joanne Sharpe. You can find out all the details here and there is short video by Joanne there too!
