G is for Gelli Plate

If you nave never tried one of these gelli plates, you are missing out. They are great fun on fabric and paper. It is even more fun if you get together with a group of friends and play together.

F is for Fabric

I love fabric, even though I don't quilt or sew much.

This piece was made with an ice dyeing technique. Not sure what I am doing with it yet.

E is for Enjoyment

I art journal because I enjoy it. It makes me happy to throw paint and paper on a page. It is never going to be great art, but it is great stress relief!

D is for Deli Paper

I love using deli paper! It comes in these huge never ending supply boxes at your local big box store. I then use them to keep pages form sticking together or to use up paint. Then I have collage fodder for my journal. Do you use deli paper?

C is for Carve

I enjoy carving stamps. I made these weekday stamps last year and I love using them in my Bullet Journal.

B is for Bullet Journal

 I just started my bullet journal this year. I wanted to do the unDocumented Life Planner in 2016, but failed miserably.

This seems to work for me. I will show you the inside as the month progresses. Mine is not pretty nor does it have all the lists others put in theirs. but I like it. It, like me, is a work in progress.  My daughter introduced me to them and if you want more information, this is where I started :

A to Z Blog Challenge

Because I am totally nuts, I decided to do two blogs for the blog challenge. One is my needlework blog Beth's Needlework Stash
Then there is this one. I decided I need to but my mixed media and other arting in a different spot than my needlework blog. Most people who follow me there only do needlework. This one gives me a place to play and explore. 
So here it goes.

 A is for art journals. I love them. As we go along I will show you some of the pages I created over the past few years.
