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.
