So, never having done any art journalling before, I'm now taking part in two challenges! The other one is the Craft Barn challenge based on Quotes and Lyrics; as I've collected quotes forever, it really appealed to me. And then along comes the Club Challenge ......
I'm coming to realise the point of art journalling - which is experimentation; exploring techniques and ideas - and it doesn't matter how it turns out!
The Club Challenge is based on Wreck this Journal, and called Dec this Journal. A list of subjects/topics has been provided, and there are additional challenge pages every couple of months. At the end of the year a minimum of 10 pages have to be completed (out of a possible 24). I've already done some, and I have already shown one in a previous post - The Blue Girl (see here) - where the challenge is "choose a colour, make a collage".
The first bi-monthly challenge was "take a book page and highlight favourite words", and entries were due in at the last workshop.
I turned (again) to one of my favourite books - Through the Looking Glass. I've got a copy that I found in a charity shop, which I don't mind tearing up! I've also got some Alice stamps - perfect! I love alliteration, hence my choice of words; but I wasn't sure how it would turn out - and that is the beauty of art journalling - surprising myself!
The background is created by random diluted acrylic paint. The highlighted words read - a cautiously curious consequence of the prettiest sheep ..... and have been cut from the page - up to you to figure out which word goes where on the original page!
The prettiest sheep is hand cut from card, and I think she deserves her beauty contest crown!
