Gwen's Getting Edgy Class

I breathed,lived, dreamt and worked this journal for 3 weeks. If there was project which I could do for ever this would be it. It is my most favorite and cherished one.

I tried and experimented so many new things. The theme I chose was India and I tried my hand at zentangle for this project and I fell in love with it. I am sure it would be part of all my projects from now on.

Backgrounds were done with distress inks and acrylic paints.
Foreground with so many different things - stencils, hand carved blocks, drawings, Distessinks, Posca markers, Sakura gelly roll, Embossing powder, PITT pens .

The first page depicts the Indian swan or Hansa drawn and colored in the South Indian style.

The second page is Gaja or elephant , it was free colouring page resource which I found.

Paisley or the Butta pattern in zentangle is the third page.

Lotus or the Kamal is fourth pattern while Gwen's Curvy Ornamental Stencil forms the fifth pattern

The Flower Motif in pastel colors formed the sixth paterrn.

I was contemplating what to draw for the last two patterns and pinterest offered many inspirations. Thus Peepal leaf and Mandala became the last two in the series. The mandala is from "thecraftshop" and flower motif from "craftslane"

Mandala - Week2

Week 2 I created this beautiful ATC which has so much of details in the background. Ink and Oxides were smooshed and sprayed. You can see the drips and splatter. Then loads of stenciling and stamping was done. The mandala and the pattern were stenciled in white andheat embossed. The smaller pattern was outlined with 3D paint.

Be the Light - Week 3 2021

A simple card sprayed with Distress and Lindy sprays. Stenciled and stamped in shades of brown and black to maintain same color tone. The lamps were stenciledb outlined with Golden deep gold paint which was piped though the FineLine bottle. Inside details were heat embossed wth distress glaze to give stained glass effect.

Keep going - Week 5 2021

Hectic week so a quick card made with texture paste and heat embossing. The focal image was stamped with wooden blocks with Delicata Ink . Since ink remains wet I was able to pour embossing powder and heat emboss it.
