Rub the Paper Off of the Packing Tape

Here,you see my rubbing the paper off gently, off of the packing tape. You may need to spray a bit more water, and continue to wipe off till all of the paper is off. Your ink image is actually on the tape and this can be used in all of your art work, art journal pages, collages, mixed media pieces...

Art by Johanne Knore

A couple of weeks ago I was at Barnes and Noble and found a book that I adored. Sketching and drawing was the focus of this book and I came across this artist whom when I saw his drawing, it hit me what an absolute beautiful journal page this would be.
Just look at his imagery and the flow of is writing creating a doodle type of affect and yet meaningful; creating the birds swirling through the air.
When we artists are journaling, we need to take note on the affect of our writing or our prompts into our work. I myself have been a bit curious about understanding more and more how to implement my writing skills into individual pieces of art. I know I definetely separate my art from my thoughts which I have wanted to overcome.
This piece inspired me so much to understand more. Did I buy the book? No, I put it on hold and never got back to the bookstore. I wonder if it is still there. It was a sale book:(

Great Art Supply Finds at the Dollar Tree Store

Brightly colored art supplies at the Dollar Tree Store!

Sometimes you or your art work needs some inspiration. I always keep my eye opened in the Dollar Tree for those little items that can be added to a art journal page, to that canvas, or ATC.

I need supplies around me to make make me go "Oooo, I want to use that"! I just don't think, I would like light blue lace with blue hearts hanging of of it. Be careful though! You can overspend and have things around that you will never use.

I keep a little notebook near by. When I am learning from YouTube or social Ning sites, I write down an art supply or medium that I don't have or would like to find something like it. Then when I am out doing chores or glancing around "window shopping", I know when I am getting a good buy.
