Jeg liker ikke å snakke - This is my Norwegian kind of art :-)

Hi, it's me again :-)

I promise you yesterday that the next thing i will show you is My newest art on canvas. And here it is :)

Jeg liker ikke å snakke;
da tror jeg ikke meg selv.
Men blomstene her vil takke
allikevel!

Suddenly I realized that I could also take this  peace of art to the Challenge at Rubberdance.blogspot.no. What a brilliant idè ; ) So her I go again. I think I'm addicted....
This applies to participate in the contest:
For May, the colours are bright summery shades of purple, hot pink and sunshine yellow

In addition to our colour scheme we also have an optional THEME: FLOWERS

Here is the link to the May-Colour-Challenge:

I hope I will win and that I can recive some of the amazing rubber stamps from Rubber Dance Art as prize. They are all gorgeous, but I did find some favorites. That I can talk about another time. Now lets concentrate on my art on canvas.




I did my art on canvas 20 * 20 cm. this time. For the backround i used tissuepaper from Tim Holtz: Idea-ology - melange. I glue this on with mixed media matt. Let it all dry over night, and then I paint over with gesso mixed with water. Let it dry.

Then I came in with acrylic paint with the fab. coulor Pastel Pink, Pastel blue and Pastel Violet. I painted with babywipes so the colour just melted beautiful together. Then i colored the Big Butterfly with Faber Castell Gelatos in tree different pink coulor.


Then I stamped the background with the background collection from Dylusions called Basic Backgrounds.




I Stamped the flowers who is from Tim Holtz collections called Flowegarden and cut them out. I colored the flowers with Distress Ink in shades of purple, hot pink and sunshine yellow ;) Then I stamped the leaves direct on the canvas (this is from Dylusions collection called Around the Edge), and colored the leaves with Gelatos in two different green colour.




The Verse I have taken from a famous Norwegian writer and Lyricer called Arnulf Øverland. He was born in Kristiandsund in 1889, and died in Oslo in 1968.




I written the Verse into a bit of a design sheet, cut it out and glue it onto the canvas and then doodle a "sew edge" around it. I thougt the Verse is beautiful. In english it goes something like this: "I don't like to talk. When I do I do not believe myself, but the flowers here will thank anyway!"
I think the Verse sounds better in Norwegian....  :)

I do hope that I remember it all, but if I don't please do not hesitate to ask if you have any question, okidoki?

In closing I will just show you my mixed medium art collage in my Art Journal that  I received tremendous positive response on Facebook and Instagram. I am very proud of this one : ) What do you think? Did you like it?





I'l be back! In the meantime please write me a comment, just so I know you are out there and watching my art, and hopefully get inspired to do art yourself.

Art Journaling

Hi!
Here I am, again 😊
About one month ago I bought the book"Distinctly Dylusional - A guide to Art Journaling", by Dyan Reaveley. So if you love Art Journaling like I do, and don't already have this book- buy it! This is absolutly awesome. Lots of tips and inspirations in there 😃 I now read it for the second time.



Here is some of my art I did last week and I thougt I will bring in to the May Challenge at Rubber Dance Art Stamps.  The colour for this month is pink, yellow and purple, and we can use flowers if we want to. Yes I do! :)

For May, the colours are bright summery shades of purple, hot pink and sunshine yellow

This time I Also will try to explain to you how I did this. Okey, here we go.

This is a cardstock from my Art Journal binder as I bought at Panduro Shop in My hometown. 

For the backround I used Dylusions Ink spray, color Cut Grass, Tangerine Dream and Lemon Zest. Then I used a flower stencil and ghosted the page. 

I stamped the girl with Dylusions Black Sheep collection, Cut out an colored her with Promarker pens in pink, purple and Black. For the "hair"I used one of Tim Holtz flower stamp from the collection called Flowergarden. Her legs is from Dylusions stamp collection called Currious Corrin.I used Distress Ink color Mustard Seed, Festive Berries and Picked Raspberry, to color the flower on her head and for the flowers on the ground I used a flower cutter, and colored them with the yellow Distres Ink, and edged them with pink Distress Ink. In the midle of the flowers I used buttons in pink, ,green and purple. The flower stalk is from the Dylusions stamp collection called Inbetweenies.

For the border I used Dylusions stamp Collection called Further Around the Edge. I colored the border with Black and white pens. Some words in the quote is from Tim Holtz smal talk collection, but the Word "in" and "will" is mine.

As you can see I realy looooove Dylusions, and Dyan Reaveley, and Tim Holtz. They are what i would call real Artists.

Thank you for reading. I hope you will give me a comment and maybe follow me on My Art Journey. That I will appreciate. NeXT time I will show you my newest art in canvas. I hope to see you : )
