ATC

So I am stuck on the couch...I might as well make something.  I used the Adinkra Symbol to make this ATC.  It is called GYE NYAME it means "except for God"  It is a west African symbol used especially in Ghana to represent the supremacy and omnipotence of God and fearlessness of His followers.

I used water color pencil, sharpie, charcoal 3B, water brush

Fighting the blues

This ATC was inspired by the Happy Easter greeting I saw on this blog.  I am not sure if this was a stamp, but I doodled the drawing.  I have been singing "Jesus Loves Me" ever since.  The message is always timely.  I have been fighting the blues for a few days and reading this made me smile and motivated to craft something.  Truly Jesus is risen.  While he was on the cross I was on his mind-that's LOVE!  Thanks Stephanie for sharing your art and the love of Christ!

Materials: Water Color pencil, gel pens (white and black), MS writing marker, BIC Mark it markers, glittered heart sticker, white cs.

ATC

This ATC is made with watercolor pencils, glitter pen, sakura souffle pens and a pigma micron black pen.  I was playing around with drawing people.

Be sure to check back over the weekend for the Hot fun in the Summer Blog Hop.  There will be some really cool projects.

ATC's

I was going away for a crop retreat and at the last minute I decided to make a art journal travel kit. I have water color crayons, but water color pencils are more portable and less messy.  There were no art or scrap booking stores open.  So, I went to Wally World hoping to find water color pencils.  I have seen gesso and canvass before so I was hoping.  No luck in the art/scrap booking/stationery section, but to my surprise I found CRAYOLA water color pencils in the kid art section for $2.97.   I was not sure how these pencils would work since they were not artist or even student quality. 

When I got tired of scrap booking I played around with coloring.  I drew these two trees on watercolor paper and colored them with the pencils.  I used my water brush to spread the color.  While not super vibrant colors, the pencils worked just fine.  This was fun.
