My Black is Beautiful Challenge #4

LIPS are the topic of next challenge. This poem is written using the slow journaling technique. The pattern of the paper just lent itself to this type of journaling.

Spoken Word by Tina Riley

My LIPS spit surreal sentences

Verbalizing virtuous verses

Speaking spectacular speeches
Formulating prophetic, philosophical phrases
Chanting charismatic comments
Telling tongue twisting truths

Casting out confusion with concepts so compelling it convicts crowds

"I will open my mouth in Parables..."  Matthew 13:35a










Anointed LIPS...

With sweetness like the honey comb

Filled with Love's language

and milk and honey under my tongue

Smooth like a scarlet silk sash

My LIPS are lovely...

Adapted from Song of Solomon

DARE I SAY...My LIPgloss be poppin'

erotic forehead kisses

cheek smooches

sensuous

comforting

healing

soft

sweet

Paper bag mini

This is a paper bag mini with only one page.  I have been making these for my non-scrapping friends who are dog owners.  I got to thinking that several pages might be overwhelming trying to fill up.  Even as a scrapper it is sometimes difficult to journal and fill up a whole mini with pictures that I have on hand.  I usually have to print pictures specifically to fill the album.  For this one I used a Hershey's Chocolate bag.  It was a very sturdy texture.  Only thing is that I HAD to eat the chocolate first (LOL)

Scratch Art

I tried this technique on a tag.  It is done by coloring the whole tag with different colors of oil pastels.  Then covering the whole thing with black oil pastel.  Then using a stencil and wooden skewer the black is scratched off revealing the color underneath.  The tag is then sealed with gel medium.  It was fun, but I definitely want to try it using a more detailed stencil and a larger canvas.

Materials:

shipping tag

fiber from stash

oil pastels

TH crown and flourish masks

Reverse Stenciling gone wrong...

Today I tried the reverse stenciling technique as taught by Paula aka Journal Artista.  I did something wrong because the stencil only showed when I wiped off the blue paint.  Since there are no mistakes in scrap booking...I went a whole other way with this page.

I put the stencil down again and sprayed it with Java walnut ink. It did not show up on the photo, but I traced the butterfly with glitter pen.

I will try Paula's technique again.

Materials:

watercolor paper

gesso

glimmer screens butterfly stencil

decocolor paint pen

inkssentials white gel pen

Java walnut stain ink

Blue, red, yellow acrylic paint

"All nature wears a magical grin" stamp

Little crafter at it again

My niece called me to ask if she could come over to my house and make Valentine cards for her classmates.  You know kids wait until the ninth hour, so it was difficult for us to get together.  Finally, we pulled it off.  I think she did a great job on these simple cards.

She inked the edges red for the girls and black for the boys. Then she went over the stamped hearts with glaze, gel and glitter pens.
