mini art journal | last pages

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm featuring two lovely artists in my last pages of my mini journal.

I'm so sad that this cute little happy journal has come to it's end and so happy at the same time that I managed to fill all the pages :)

In this particular quarantine period of our life, I spend more time on Pinterest than I did before and I get very excited when I find new -at least for me- artists! Sometimes I like so much their work that I try to make something similar in my journals and that makes me really happy!

For this spread I got inspired by Magaly Ohika and her amazing faces she draws with the cute house on the nose. Her style is unique and I tried to incorporate it in my style.

...

I call the last page of my mini journal 'happy end' and it really is!

I got inspired by Mary 'The Turquoise Paintbrush' and her colorful artworks.

She uses all the colors I love to use in my projects.

I created this page by not having on my mind her work but when I finished and looked at it my mind went on her. I think my page looks like her style, don't you think?

I'm off to find -or make?- a new mini journal to start.

Stay safe and creative!

Dear friends

I hope you all are doing great!

Staying home on this weird period of our life's made me feel very creative.

I'm about to fill all the pages of my mini journal, actually there is one last left which I'll try to shoot a video with the process.

For today's project I used acrylic paints and watercolor pencils.

The stickers are from 7Dots Studio collection.

mini art journal |Go off the grid

Hello everyone!

Today I'm hosting the Finnabair blog with a new page in my super mini art journal

and comes with a VIDEO showing the whole process :)

Here in Greece we are in the middle of the Summertime and I'm really in a relaxed summery 'fishy' bluish mood! ;) You can tell from all my last art journal pages... :)

Today I want to share with you my last art journal page I created with lots of textures, blue shades and doodling.

I had so much fun creating this page, I hope you will enjoy the process in my video below :)

To create an interesting background I glued with the Soft Matte Gel some pieces from the Ephemera Melangepackage and other scraps I had in my stash.

Then I painted the whole surface with a thin coat of Heavy White Gesso as I didn't want to cover the patterns completely.

I used the 3D Gloss Gel to glue the embellishments I wanted to use, like the chipboard pieces, thread and Art Stones.

I also used the Mechanicals Screws and Stars Brads to secure the chipboard gear and the tag with the quote I wrote by hand.

I think they look so cute, especially the tag as thanks to the brad, you can turn it upwords every time you want to read the quote and then you can turn it downwards to store the mini journal.

To create more texture I used the blue shades of the Impasto Paints with the 'Cobblestone' Stencil and one of the Double Sided Texture Brushes.

I simply applied the Impasto Paints with the Silicone Brush and then with the silicone texture tool from the other side of the brush, I created the waves.

You will see how easy and fun this technique is in my video below.

To add some more color and interest, I spread some Mica Powders here and there; I used Rust, Gold and Bluefrom the Mica Powder Set.

Here is my video, I hope you will feel inspired and get into a summer mood just like I did!
