WOYWW #786 : No-Sew Journal

Hottest day of the year so far and I'm hunkered down in my room, windows and curtains closed and the air-con unit on all day - that's better....I did sit out for the sum total of 2 minutes but couldn't stand it any longer! 

 #JunkJournalJuly (JJJ) is on the cards for me next month and finally managed to sign-up but had to get hubby to turn off the ad blocker and then list Get Messy as OK as that was the problem up to now!

Funny thing - I know July is looming and I didn't have a journal planned but happened to make a no-sew journal yesterday (by the JJJ host) which is the feature on my desk. 

All ready for July except that I haven't made my hubby his birthday card for 2nd yet! Eeeeek!

Have been plodding away at my June Journal too, Some pages come together, some not quite so. 

Listed them all separately this week instead of collages.

Not much to say about them just lots of play and pondering.

I found the Greater Spotted Woodpecker feather in the garden the other day and a mixed media prompt was Polka Dots so it was perfect.

Running out of self inspiration so JJJ will be well welcome next week.

Steroid injection TOMORROW! Eeeeekkkk!

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #785 - Remembering my Dad

Always a difficult week, the one with Father's Day and the anniversary of my own Dad's passing. My Carpal Tunnel Symptoms have gone haywire, not sure if it's the increased temperature or the stress of the moment.

Anyway, finished up the Wild Art Deep Faith course in my daily journal and have toddled along the past few days. Here's yesterdays desk doing yesterday's page.

Here's are the past week's pages:-

12) Recipe 2 - Safe with a photo of me age 2 and a half

13) Recipe 2 again as I never got to finish watching the process videos - Ask although I didn't finish watching again as I get too wafted away with creating. I watched after the fact in the end!

14) Listening to God - via magazine images and words - Sanctuary

15) Recipe 3 - With Love and the end of the course. The pocket has a note from my son as he'd stayed a few days.

16) Peace - on Father's Day itself

17) Time to Live...

18) Sadness and Sunshine - 26 years ago today I lost my Dad suddenly. Tears but happy memories.

I did kids work at church in Sunday and we made these for the Dad's so I made one for my hubby, the guys got Yorkie bars too.

I do believe there is #JunkJournalJuly on the horizon but not found how to sign up for it yet despite this video on you tube, I did enquire via their chat but they couldn't really help me.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #784 - Acrylic Inks

At last I am the proud owner of some acrylic inks. Had a little play and they are still out on my desk for more fun. 

Day 10 - Words uses them in the background

Day 9 - white drips down the page

Iridescent Bright Gold, Carbon Black and Titanium White.

Vivid Lime Green, Quinacridone Magenta and Turquoise Deep

I've been filling the extra facing pages in my April journal with challenge pages.

I did one using circle waste pieces/rings and another was a scavenger hunt to include 12 specific things, that was fun.

I'm toddling along with Jenna Burne's Wild Art Deep Faith course filling my June journal. This past week I've done:-

5) Collage - "Hope" page

6) Stencils - Vine page

7) Printing - Mystery page

8) Marks - turquoise ribbon page

9) Images - Happy Place page

10) Words - "Fridge" words page

11) Recipe 1 - First Full page demo - Collage/Journaling/Image page.

In the middle of this I made an anniversary ATC for  Lisa-Jane, not sure it has arrived yet though but here it is anyways.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #783 - Wild Art Deep Faith

Started the "Wild Art, Deep Faith" course by Jenna Burne so that's what you find on my desk (yesterday) I'm a little at odds with just playing with supplies and techniques versus wanting to get a page finished each day but I'm managing it.

Here are my first 4 days:

1) Was to Wreck your Journal but I found this quite difficult!

2) Was actual journaling, which is underneath the finished page.

3) Acrylic paints - who'd have known Dark Turquoise and Lavender mixed would be Key West Blue!

4) Watercolour and Inks (I only have Dylusions inks and they are watercolour not acrylic)

The last 2 days have brought worship songs to mind - nothing was planned.

As for the Journal, I made a new one for June in the tall slim format to fit in a magazine cover I'd been saving.

I've done my Bible Journaling Ministries Page in my Faith Journal and my mini bible.

I also WON a month of their subscription membership Momentum. Wow I was over the moon with that.

 I did my Faith Inspirations page (one colour was Key West Blue and I only discovered how to mix it the day AFTER!!! - see above).

I redid my little canvas and it might be done now.

Of course I finished off my May journal and Messy May all done. Really enjoyed the prompts and videos.

I got to do a page with all my favourite bits and pieces, had an evening of gelli printing to make a page, used up a stitched cluster from the BB Bash course earlier in the year and used a scrap/scratch sheet and a hand made mask for the last page.

I received my last few ATCs and they are all now rearranged on my fireplace, with a few oldies.

I love them all thank you so much.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.
