Professor Owl

 

Time for another great challenge at Through the Craft Room Door, as always it is an anything Goes Challenge.

Our generous Sponsor this week is ……….

Ike’s Art



The prize this week is …….. $10 voucher for the store

I used one of Ike's images called Professor Owl. 

What a handsome owl he is. 


I colored the image using Primacolor Pencil Crayons and Mineral Oil.  The Designer paper by ShokART  was used for the background along with an altered wooden butterfly, so rubber stamps and gears.   I used Nuvo  Crystal Glace on the owls eyes and pocket watch.  This was a fun card to make.

Pan Jaun, the God of the Wild, Nature of Mountain Wilds, Rustic Music .........

Crafty Gals Corner has a new challenge this week. 
The theme for this challenge is: 

One for the Boys!

Our sponsors for this challenge are:
(in alphabetical order)



Prize ~ 2 Digital Images





Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate



Prize ~ 3 Digital Images



This is my project, an art journal page Using Ike's Art digital image 




I had fun with this art journal page because I decided to use one of my Citra Solv /National Geographic pages as my background to the project. 

I have a stack of pages in my stash that I had made a long time ago.  Working on this piece got me interested in the procedure all over again. 

This is what my altered page looked like before I made my project. 


I decided to scan the image and create my project on a copy of the image.  I was originally going to use the original but the other side of the paper also had a beautiful design made by the Citra Solv. I also decided to make the image a little larger so that it fit in my art journal.  I have save many pages that I have made with this process and with my gel plate to use on future projects. 

I added the Pan Jaun image to the page after I coloured it with 
copics. I added  stamped butterflies, birds, and rabbits to create a scene. I tried to create more depth to the project with with black and with charcoal pencils. 

Pan Jaun in ancient Greek religion and mythology was the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, rustic music and impromptus.

I tired to reflect this in what I added to the art journal page in stamps and  words.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week.  Remember to pop over to Crafty Gals Corner to check out the projects of our talented design team. 

Hope you will join us this week for the " One for the Boys" challenge.

Trust the Timing of Your Life



I made this mixed media art  journal page for this month's  Forever Dark's challenge.  Ike's Art is the sponsor of the challenge and I have used his Professor Owl for my page. I love the different images that you can find in Ike's collection of digital stamps. 


To create my background I used a combination of spray inks, rubber stamp, acrylic paint and stencils. The owl was coloured with Copics and a charcoal pencil. 

This is the last challenge of 2015 for at Forever Dark.  Hope you will be back in 2016 to join in challenges in 2016.  Happy Holidays to everyone.
