My friend Jane gave our art journal group the challenge of stacking.
Stacking tangles,
stacking text,
stacking text and tangles,
stacking colors with any of the above.
Jane showed some examples of stacking,
and in a couple pictures she showed drawings she had made in her wall book.
I thought, I have a wall book that I rarely use.
So I pulled it out and tangled the stacks you see above
in the page on the right.
It started out as a blank brick wall.
(This is an actual two-page spread in the book.)
I started at the bottom and worked my way up.
I love the way it turned out.
Looks like that art could be real graffiti.
(Fourth tangle up from the bottom,
is one I made up for this page.
I'm calling it Box It Up.
I'll post step-outs for it in tomorrow's post.)
In case you wondered, and even if you didn't, hahaha!
from the bottom up, the tangles are:
box it up, variation of crescent moon, flying geese, rain,
Here is the wall book, which I have been calling by the
wrong name for the past couple weeks!
I got mine at Amazon,
(I mean, really, is there any where else?)
Walls Notebook by Sherwood Forlee.
I enjoyed that stacking stuff so much I decided to do a second page.
I decided to go with graffiti circles and tangles that draw the eye to that post rising from top to bottom of the page.
I've been seeing peeks on your Instagram and was wondering what it is was all about. I thought you had maybe just bought a used book, but it is meant for this sort of thing? And they have other themes too? I'm in trouble... *sigh* That looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is, kristi! A lot of fun
DeleteOk this is really cool! I had no idea what you meant when you said that you were going to use your wall book for the inside my sketchbook challenge but now I get it! And every time I read pink = link I giggle. Don't know why but it's cute!
ReplyDelete~ joey ~
the pinklink thingy is something people can remember :)
DeleteThe date took a bit of finding - it's on the bike's mudguard & I found your chop in the far left circle. I too chuckled over the pink link. Yes I do wonder what the names of the tangles are & was wondering what your wall book was but discovered as I continued to read your post, how did you know I was going to ask that??
