Okie here’s day four for Kal’s art challenge.
Two weeks ago Jennifer McGuire posted a a long entry on copic markers. I swear to you that I had no interest in these. I am not a stamper and I already have so many art supplies.
Yet after reading her post, I couldn’t resist the pull. I had to have them! After spending many many days doing research and picking my colors, my copics finally arrived on Wednesday. I figured they were perfect for this challenge. So I stamped some trees, colored them and then cut them out (I used the copic sketchbook paper). I then covered my journal page with old book paper, glued the trees on top and colored and cut out some butterflies. I dripped some watercolor on the back paper and added a bit of lace on top and the quote. That’s it.
Here are some details:
The quote says: “Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other’s company. Only a few love to be alone.” and it’s by Jens Jessen.
I’ve got a long way to go with the copics but they are really fun and I look forward to learning more.
There you go, day four down.
OK, I can’t resist learning about new art materials. I’m off to check out copic markers – never heard of them before. I love how you’ve run with Kal’s art challenge. You are really churning out the works these days!
warning they are soooo expensive and you can’t get one so you end up spending way more than you meant to! 🙂
Ooh I love this work using all the different mediums. The old book paper, the watercolour, the lace, the stamps… they all complement each other beautifully. I am really inspired to try more collage/art journalling styles like this!
