Scavenger Hunt 2016 final post

I went off the boil a bit with the Scavenger hunt.  I did so well in June and July and then I forgot about it.  So many other things going on.

So here are the last three that I have from the list
4 A book or magazine read during 2016

8 A drawing, art project etc created by you

21 A photograph of you with a newspaper or calendar page from the time period covered in the hunt

I didn't manage to get #17 - twins or #20 - someone laughing.  I managed alternative 1 but not alternative 2: a baby

All in all though, I am satisfied with how I got on.  Maybe if it happens again next year I will do better.

Thanks for stopping by

Glimpses of Jesus 38

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about The Servant's Mission in Isaiah 50:4-9 which talks about the suffering that will be inflicted.

I used this startling piece of clipart I found on Microsoft Publisher and added the crown of thorns which was also in Publisher although I did remove the eyes which were part of the design.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

Thanks for stopping by.

50 ways to leave your layer

Warning: there are a lot (and I mean a lot!) of photos in this post.

Last weekend I went to Art from the Heart in Harrogate for a weekend of two workshops led by Seth Apter.

The workshop on Saturday was '50 ways to leave your layer'.  We were given a Dylusions square journal and did one technique for each double page.  Some technique pages had more than one layer!

Smooshing - a type of monoprinting

Smooshing with others!   This works so much better with the black background rather than the white above.

Printing with texture

Splatter

Hidden background

Subtraction stencilling

Water splats!

Brayered

Two colours

Ombre

Free choice of techniques to do the cover.

On Sunday we did 'Mixed Media Mashup'.  We made one finished piece to take home using a variety of techniques following Seth's instructions.

My piece went from this first layer:

to this:

And in between were these layers:

Die cuts using Seth's Spellbinder Dies.

Auditioning the pieces

Improvements after advice from Seth

Added finishing touches

It was a fabulous full on weekend.  Thank you Seth.  Thanks to Art from the Heart for organising it and to my friend Carolyn who joined me for the weekend.

Well done if you've got this far.  I did warn you there were a lot of photos.

Thanks for stopping by.
