Flourish Uppercase Stencil ... Hash Marks Stencil ... October 2018 StencilClub

 Hi Stencil Friends!

Janet here, with my StencilGirl Column 

focused on Journals and Planners.

For several months I have been obsessed with those

3.5"x 5.5" field note journals.

I gesso each page in advance, several books at a time,

so they are ready and waiting for me!

I belong to the Get Messy Art Journal community. 

Art Prompts are given in two month "seasons".

I used one of those little Field Note Journals

 for my 'Season of Story' Art Journal.

On my cover I used Vintage Typewriter Alphabet Stencil

I'll list all the stencils used on these pages under each photo...

Vintage Typewriter Alphabet Stencil, Gridded 

and the MB Makes Marks Stencil

Art is an excellent way of telling your story.

I love my Get Messy Community.

And here are the last several weeks in my Art Planner.

Happy April to everyone out in Stencil Lover's Land!

Janet here to show you what's on my art desk.

What's new in your world?

Do you get the StencilClub Stencil Kit for April?

Isn't April's design lovely? So sweet and spring like...

Now if only it would quit snowing where I am and turn to spring!

We are HOPEFUL here!

I have several different art avenues open here in my studio.

I am really enjoying the Get Messy Art Journal group.

The Season of Play started April first

and goes for 8 weeks.

I love the texture of this Gridded Stencil over my traced hand.

Admit it! Didn't you trace your hands with crayons? 

 Like...all the time when you were a child?

Oh yes! Play Play Play!

And....

Instead of letting the excess paint on a stencil go to waste

I press it onto an open page in my art journal.

I spy Hash Marks and Curlicue Wide Borders

and ATC Mixup #2 and maybe another one under those layers?

Another fun art thing going on is #the100dayproject on Instagram.

It's 100 days of making...of being creative in any way you choose.

My 100 day commitment is to cut and glue paper.

I am trying to inch my way slowly into collage....maybe.

I started by making my paper....

Stencils of course. Layers and layers.

Acrylic paints, Lindy's Starburst Sprays, Krylon Spray Paints,

Distress Inks, Oxide Inks, Stazon Ink Pads.

Just Layers and Layers of FUN! 

Some of my favorites I color copied so I could double and triple their use...

And then I started cutting them up....

Lots of texture and depth.

The stencils I used were:

ATC Mix Up #1

ATC Mix Up #2

Stitched 02

Gridded

Half Rings Squared Mini

Sea of Skiffs Mini

Bullseye

Hash Marks

Repetition

Fade Horizontal

Journal Texture #2

Imaginary Bloom

Curlicue Floral

Curlicue Allover

X-12

Feb 2018 StencilClub Kit

Nov 2014 StencilClub Kit

Plus More? Maybe?

It's hard to keep track under all the layers!

See you next month? 

Something new is in the works....

Be on the Look Out!

I have zero in my possession now.

of canvas paper and began to play.
