Collaged tissue paper, a label and the Gridded Stencil

Hello Stencil Lovers!
Janet here to share with you what I've been up to.
A new season is upon us...
Sweaters for the cooler evenings here in Ohio...
Tree leaves changing colors...


September brought a new season over at Get Messy Art too.
It was the Season of Steven. What??? you say?
It's who or what influences your creativity. 
Your muse... your inspiration.
The two books I chose to work with were 
Bird By Bird  by Anne Lamott 
and Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon.


It was a very inspiring month.




Anne Lamott gave me a lot to think about. 
There's lots to chew on in Bird By Bird.
Some of my favorite quotes are in this book.


The word truth is from the Vintage Typewriter Alphabet Stencil

There's a LOT about getting over your perfectionism.


Something Anne said on page 53....




A Daniel Hillel quote in the Anne Lamott book, Bird By Bird , page 121.

 June 2020 StencilClub Mash-Up Kit

Some thought provoking words from Anne on page 169.

Fly 4 Stencil, one of my favorites.




More of Anne's wisdom...


From Austin Kleon's book, Steal Like An Artist, a Mark Twain quote.

Austin Kleon wisdom & some grandchild art collaboration.

More Showing up and doing art.


Austin Wisdom.




More of me just showing up.


Sometimes it's hard to show up...


But I still show up.


And in my Art Planner the last few months.















That's all for now friends.
Keep Showing Up.
Keep Doing Art.
Be Creative Every Day.

Dream Big Stencil 
Happy New Year!
Hi Stencil Friends!
Janet here, with my StencilGirl Column 
focused on Journals and Planners.
No surprise here! I am still obsessed with those
3.5"x 5.5" field note journals.
Here are a few pages in my recent journals.

This January starts my 6th year of playing in an Art Planner.

Goodbye 2018.
Hello 2019.

Lots of opportunities to use stencils!
Here's a wrap-up of the last couple months of 2018.

Another super fun project I squeezed in during a busy December 2018 was
#CarveDecember hosted by Julie Balzer.

I used a few stencils on my Speedy Carve blocks as design choices.

Small Deer Antlers Stencil
Sometimes I resize the image on a copy machine to get a size I want to carve.

Fly 6 Stencil & Fly 4 Stencil
Again, notice the sizes of my birds. 
That is the 6" and 4" stencil along with two smaller carved versions!
I am real excited about those!
And I'm thinking of trying a smaller one yet!


There you go!
Carving stamps is not at all hard. 
Take a class or get a book on the subject.
Art is all about having fun and trying new things!

See you next time!
