Blank Art Journals Completed

22 April 2008 – 9:59 pm

Yes, the pages have been completed over a week ago. But, I only managed to put the finishing touches after 52WoC’s Party #3 - when the winners put in their last input to complete the art journals.

Toni won the main art journal and shared two more words which I used for the cover: Pastel Green + Home. And her name, of course. Now, here’s a mosaic of the finished book (now packed and ready to be shipped)-

Em Dy won the smaller mini art journal. She gave the words Red + Life. And her name. Here’s the mosaic of the finished book (now packed, but still waiting for the address so I can mail it)-

Also have Amy’s pack ready to ship. And, I even added this small handmade mini blank book in the pack -

Now, I’m excited.

Art Journal Collab Project Update: (Part 4 - Final)

13 April 2008 – 10:04 pm

Yay! Finally finished the art journals. Well, sort of. I finished all the pages of the very first art journal collab project here. Now, all we need to do is proceed with our 52WoC virtual party #3 that was postponed, so that we can choose our winners. And, they can come up with their input for the covers.

Anyway, here are the last pages from the collab submissions…

Toni’s second submission is: Lemon Yellow + Happy. And, I aimed for simplicity in these pages -

Next is Chloe’s page, with her words: Sky Blue/Turquoise + Hope. Was really happy that I had the opportunity to use my blue laser mesh here -

Then, there’s Jami’s page, with the words: Maroon + Horses. This page was a toughie for me. I didn’t think I had the right Maroon material, so I just used the closest possible one. It was a gorgeous, textured handmade paper. And again, I didn’t have any horses from my stash. Then, I realised that I had these cute rocking horses charms. Good one -

And finally, there was Jayme’s words: Pink + Passion. Love the words - so this was sort of easy, fun pages -

These last pages are a mix of Jayme’s Pink + Kari’s (1st submission) Purple submissions. Tied the whole thing together.

So, there you go. I really enjoyed doing this with you all. Maybe one day, I’ll come up with another art collab project. Thanks again to all of you who participated.

Art Journal Collab Update: Part 3

10 April 2008 – 11:53 pm

Hi, all. With the 52WoC Virtual Party coming soon, I’m trying to finish the art journal collaboration project as soon as possible. So, here are the latest pages (photos aren’t good quality, but ‘am planning on taking photos of the project again when completed):

Kari’s Page (Part 2):

Kari sent a second submission for the project. And her words are: Blue + Imagination. I really like the blue patterned paper I used here.

Kari's Page 2

Amy’s Page:

Amy submitted the words: Gold + Connection. I love metallics, so I enjoyed playing with my materials on this one. Including a glittery star! The ‘connection’ bit was a bit tricky. Decided to go for overlapping circles, as a way to interpret the idea of connectivity.

Amy's Page

Heather’s Page:

Heather submitted Purple + Sunshine. Very visual. Enjoyed using an envelop here for a page. And, also used various embellishments here.

There you go. I think there’s 3 or 4 more pages to go before the art journals are complete. ‘am really looking forward to completing this project. And, finding out who gets to keep them!

52WoC#10: Collab Project Help

17 March 2008 – 10:28 pm

Hey, hey, hey! We’re on Week #10 of our 52 Weeks of Blog Community Project.

And, this week’s task is both a help alert and a double whammy.

As some of you may be aware of, I’ve launched the Art Journal Collaboration Project a few days ago, in conjunction with our 52WoC Month 3’s prize of a customised art journal.

At this time, I’ve only received 2 entries so far. And, I’m hoping that I can encourage a few more of you to participate, so we can come up with more pages for the art journal. Hence, this week’s task!

All you need to do to be included in Week #10’s round-up next week is to participate in the art journal collab by leaving a comment saying 1) Your favourite colour and 2) The first word that comes to your mind at the time.

By doing this, you get TWO chances to win an art journal - both the main art journal and the mini art journal. This is only effective between today, 17th Mar 08 to 24th Mar 08, while Week #10 is on. Once Week 10’s done, the art journal collab project may continue (if we don’t reach the target 20 pages yet), but entries will no longer be counted for 52WoC.

PLEASE NOTE: You must leave your collab project entries in the original art journal collab post only, not in this post. Thank you!

Easy peasy? I hope! But, as always, you’re welcome to contact me if you have any questions/clarifications.
