Moj prvi guest post (AJ 45)

Ko je Julie z Balzer’s designs pripravljala svoj teden tehnik in razmišljanj o ustvarjanju umetniških dnevnikov, sem rekla, “zakaj pa ne” in takoj, ko si je ogledala moje deklice v dnevniku, je rekla, naj naredim eno s postopkom. Malo sem oklevala, saj moje deklice načeloma niso tisto, kar najraje pokažem svetu, vedno imajo kakšne pomanjkljivosti … ampak, če sem že ponudila sodelovanje, ga nisem mogla odreči, ne? Pravzaprav sem zaradi prvega komentarja na njenem blogu kar vesela, da ga nisem odrekla, saj je vsaj eni osebi moja pot skozi grozljive poizkuse do bolj solidnih izdelkov vsaj malo pomagala. To pa tudi nekaj šteje, pri meni. Tu sta torej dva, hmmmm, z mano povezana posta: Art journaling with Kitty in Inspired by Kitty. Spodaj je pa končni izdelek.

When Julie from Balzer’s designs announced an Art Journaling week, I offered my modest help – if she was of the opinion that I can contribute in a small way. She asked for a doll art journal page. I was a bit baffled because I never thought that those can actually appeal to someone. So I choose to expose my early attempts and struggles that lead towards possibly respectable looking pages that I don’t need to be ashamed of anymore. If one person benefited from my attempts and took courage for exploring his/her boundaries, I’d be happy. So these are the links to the two “Kitty posts”: Art journaling with Kitty and Inspired by Kitty. I’ll just show the end product here ;)

Še vedno nimam kaj veliko časa za packanje ali pa so stvari napol dokončane, tale se je pa le uspela narediti do konca. Ko sem hotela počivati, sem spet malo več brala. Z enimi obrazki se nekaj matram, pa ne padejo skupaj, kot bi morali. Kljub 100 idejam v glavi …

I can still barely scrap together some time when I’m not working or doing something real and the “me” time went towards some reading again, so … but I can show you another journal page in my tall&skinny journal.

Ena od Julijinih nalog v Art Journal Supernova je bila tudi narediti “tall&skinny” art journal. Takrat sem ga naredila in par strani skolažirala, za več je pa “zmanjkalo časa”. Verjetno predvsem idej.  Nedavno nazaj sem ga še malo kolažirala, ta vikend sem ga pa tudi malo packala. Pri tehle dnevniških straneh nisem nikoli čisto prepričana, da so končane. Posledica nezaključenih misli? Včasih se kateri res zgodi še kakšen dodatek kdaj pozneje.

It’s been a while since I made “Julie’s tall&skinny” yournal. I only filled a couple of pages with collages and then it waited for a better moment. This came the past weekend, so this is the first page in it.

Tale je pa fejk. Globoka sporočila pa tako. Nak. Podlaga mi je bila blazno všeč in je nisem hotela zafrknit. In ravno sem kupila Zig Twin pen v Vicenzi na sejmu in sem hotela preizkusiti belo pisalo na akrilu.

This one only came to life as a lesson + a happy buy. I bought a Zig Twin black&white pen in Vicenza and I wanted desperately to try it + I didn’t want to ruin the great background from lesson 12 of Supernova.

Podlage in dodatki za AJ (24)

Julie nam je v šesti lekciji Supernove dala za domačo nalogo narediti superpreproste tage z akrili. Sinoči mi jih je končno uspelo narediti. Zamujam. Ne zato, ker bi bilo težko jih narediti, ampak ker nisem imela časa. In ker je treba vse akrile pač razvlečt po kuhinjski mizi, če hočeš narediti karkoli.

There are “homework tags” from Julie’s 6th lesson. Now they are ready to go into my purse so I can journal while having coffee somewhere. Where do I ever go out for coffee? Well, I’ll use them one way or another! I love them. Supereasy. I didn’t buy the ready made tags, of course, I cut them up by myself – I got a bunch this leftover strips of white cardboard from a friend. I cut the strips in 3rds, used my ton of corner punches and – voila, great tags, all different.

Sedma lekcija je monoprint. Tega sem delala naravnost v svoj “bil nekoč je rokovnik”.

I love how the monoprint from the 7th lesson came up as well. Have to try it with other colors and with some lighter ones. Supereasy and I really enjoyed making it, it was good fun!
