My Art Journal This Week






















Oil pastel playing, these are water-soluble but I didn't use water.





















I used the Permapaque marker on this. The background was made with oil pastel and water.






















I was dealing with fear yesterday, I had to put it in its place. The paper on top was a gelli print done on tyvek. I just cut up the pieces and played.  I used the scarlet lime pen on this.






















Another page using layers of oil pastel, and some stenciling.






















I had paint from my palette on the page in oranges and turquoise.  First I thought it looked like Sedona and then it seemed like a map. So I tried to turn it into Ireland.  Its not to scale or very accurate but it was still fun.  It should really be green and not orange but oh well.






















This has everything under the sun on it.  Paint, oil pastel, spray ink, markers.  I thnk the top looks sort of planetary looking.

New Supplies

I learned about both of these new supplies from Julie Fei Fan Balzer.









I love this new pen. Its from Christy Tomlinson's shop Scarlet Lime and its the only place you can buy it. The story is she loved the pen and the manufacturer decided to drop it. So she had it produced and now sells it. I think that is pretty cool.















This is a new marker I heard about and it writes over anything.  It has a double tip and even works over oil pastel.

  4. Love all of your colourful journal pages! Especially that last one! Thnx for sharing your supplies. I was wondering which marker would write over oil pastels. I've ruined a few and now I hardly use oil pastels because of that ... Guess I'll have to give the Permapaque a go ... ;-)

  13. Lots of variety, what fun you must be having, of course, not when you were experiencing fear, but all of the other times. It is great that you found a pen that can write over oil pastels....that is exciting. I hope I can find that pen nearby.
