Visual Art Journaling - Last Days

The last of my Visual Art Journaling pages:

 Emboss resist with Distress Inks.

 

Distress inks misted on stamp before stamping.                             The ferns were created by                                                                                                                      blending distress inks through                                                                                                                a stencil. The rain was created by
                                                                                                     using distress ink as watercolor
                                                                                                     and painting it with a stencil.

This is one of my favorite pages in the journal.  I cased one of my camper's work.  She took three stencils and layered 3 colors of distress inks which is what I did here.  You can see how these inks can be layered over each other and mot lose their color.






















The background on this last page was created with the
Color Burst pigment watercolor powders.  In this example the powder was sprinkled on very lightly and then misted with lots of water.  While it was wet I used the Tim Holtz distress marker tool that when squeezed creates a mist of ink from the marker.  In this case I used that tool and squeezed the air onto the wet color burst to create the various lines (at the top left).  The campers LOVED playing with these powders.

Visual Art Journal Days 4 and 5 - Shabbat

Our fourth day was Friday, July 3 and the camp gets ready for Shabbat (Sabbath) which starts at sundown.  We don't have work or classes on Saturday because the Sabbath is a day of rest.  But after services on Saturday morning we had free time so I opened up the art room to those campers that wanted to relax and play.  Their journal prompt for Friday's journaling was to display through watercoloring and journaling how Shabbat makes them feel. Another prompt was what colors represent how they feel about Shabbat or how Shabbat makes them feel.  Below are my journal entries:

The first page was watercoloring with markers directly onto a Penny Black stamp, misted with water and then stamped.  The next page was watercoloring with a stencil - I applied distress inks right onto a stencil, misted it with water and then "stamped" with it onto the page.  The two pages with the Clearly Besotted tulip image was demonstrating watercoloring in the lines and then no line watercoloring.  Lastly I created a background using Color Bursts and Brushos and then stamped the Rubbernecker flowers with Versafine Onyx Black ink and used washi tapes to adhere the panel to the journal page.
