StencilGirl Anatomy Lessons

Hi Stencil Lovers!

Janet here from Happy Reminders.

Did you take Anatomy & Physiology classes in school?

HaHaHa...Not Me! The extent of my learning comes 

from Pam Carriker's Stencil designs!

I used the A-Nat-A-My Articulated Figure in this first spread.

I began by just drawing the figure to see how varied I could get.

 I tried posing the limbs of this body stencil...

I held the joints in one place and tilted the limbs in different directions.

 Let's see...the ankle bone's connected to the leg bone....

It sure was fun playing with him!

I think this stencil will be very helpful in my journaling.

So...where to put him?.....

As if I didn't have enough to do in my day...

starting January First

I began something called The Documented Life Project.

It's very small (a Moleskine Weekly Planner)

and I am able to carry it in my purse.

I have slipped it into my Daily Art Routine.

The Documented Life Project

 The paper is very thin and not meant to have wet media used on it...

so I gessoed over it and used my usual markers and pens and paints. 

I love that the print shows through from 

the Calling Code page of this Moleskine Planner. 

No need to worry that I will let my Daily 

slip into obscurity....

I had one more of Pam's new stencils and I went to a back page in my Daily

For this one I used the Articulated Hand Stencil.

Wow! Was it ever challenging!

I also used the Flower of Life Stencil

designed by Mary Beth Shaw.

I love the flowers....or are they just a pattern of triangles?....hmmmm.... 

I started on the white paper with the hand and the word CONNECT.

I scribble journaled my thoughts on the meaning of the word

in a clear Glaze Pen from Sakura

and then did my blending with markers and pens over it.

I added the Flower of Life Stencil

and did more color blending on that.

I stamped the words ...in ways you never thought of 

in Stazon On Ink.

And now the spread is ready to meld into my Daily journaling. 

Isn't Art fun?

Don't you love how you can make stencils your very own?

Happy Arting everyone!
