Day 16 – Two More Pieces
…finished just in time to enter in the next members show at WAAC
In February the members show at the Women’s Art Association of Canada is titled Monochrome Moments. After making the smaller piece on Monday evening, I decided to make two larger pieces for the show yesterday. Weaving on canvas is a lot of fun.
Both these pieces are 12 x 12 x 2 inches.
Woven Art Piece – Day 15
…a departure from my art journal
I really enjoy fibre arts and whenever I can add yarns and threads to my work it gives me a great deal of satisfaction. This woven piece was done on an 8 x 8 inch stretched canvas.
Day 14 – My First Attempt
…at drawing a Yorkie
Day 13 – A Whimsical Approach
…to another page that I prepped earlier in the week
This page was a lot of fun. I really didn’t know how I was going to approach the marks that I had laid down but I remembered how I used to create birds from scraps of paper. I decided to use the blobs like I would paper scraps and the plaid below became a fence.
Here is what the original piece looked like.
Days 11 & 12 of My Art Journey
…from two of my prepped pages
Day 10 – Prepping Pages
…for the next couple of days
In an art journal sometimes it’s good to prep pages ahead of time, especially if you’re using wet paint or glue. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to create something from the papers and paint that I have already laid down.
Judy’s Photo Challenge – #178
…thanks to Judy Dykstra-Brown for hosting the Numbers Game Photo Challenge https://judydykstrabrown.com/2025/01/19/the-numbers-game-57-jan-20-2025-please-play-along/
I love typing in the number into the search box on my photos page. I never know what’s going to come up. Try it, it’s a lot of fun.
It’s so cool when some of photos actually have the number 178 in them. Can you find it?
Two More Days of My Art Journey
…days 8 and 9
Making art has always brought me joy. I can’t believe that I hadn’t played with my art tools in almost a year.
The Good and Not So Good
…days 6 and 7 of my Art Journey
Not everything that I post will be good. I do feel, however, that I should post my artworks, good or bad so that I can see and have a record of my progress. I know that I’m not a particularly good artist when I draw realistic subjects but I’d like to get better so I’m going to try to improve my drawing skills. Instead of flowers I’m going to try my hand at animals.
My first attempt in my Art Journey for 2025 is that of a Frenchie. I also went back to the collage that I had started up at the cottage and added more marks and a couple of old photographs that I came across when I was sorting through my collage papers.
