Art Journal in progress

Helo and happy happy Sunday 😊

Wish you all a wonderful Sunday and a joyfull creative week 🌸 

Tomorrow I will be traveling to a beautiful little town called Brønnøysund and will attend something called "Brønnøysundregistrenes Brukerforum" for two days, but I will take with me my little Art Journal and do some droodling when its possible 😊 Because i am addicted to Art Journaling 🎨📚

I DIG GARDENING! - art on canvas

Hi! Long time no see.

I've been very busy lately working on my canvas which is my present for my mum who have birthday tomorrow. She dig gardening. I think she has Bergen's most manicured garden :-)

This art i make on 60 cm x 50 cm canvas. I used paint for background colour with lots of different stencil just for making texture in the background. Wheelbarrow and shovel, I've drawn myself. The butterflies, birds, bublebee, flowers. gras and mushroom is made by rubberstamps, and coloured in with different media, such as dylusions ink spray, Faber castell big brush pens and Distress ink.  I must emphasize that the colors are much stronger and healthier in reality.

Do you like it? I do - and I hope that my mum will like it also : )

I DIG GARDENING

This is not all i've been up to. I have also made some art in my journals. As you can see i'am more fond of doing art than writing on my blog. My sparetime goes to art, but I hope you still are with me :-)

PLEASE RELEASE ME....

Out of the way I have my sassy britches on...!

Please write me a comment, just so I know your're still out there somewhere, okidoki? : -)

Hugs from Niti : )

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! :)

http://rubberdance.blogspot.com/p/colour-challenge.html

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 : )

My monday quiote

Hi!
I've decided to just write in Norwegian. So if you don't understand Norwegian you can just use the Google Translate, okey? Please give me a feedback if you prefer that I write in English! Then I of course will do that in the future 👍

Siden sist har jeg vært opptatt med å være kreativ, så jeg har ikke funnet tid til å skrive på bloggen min. Men nå tenkte jeg det var på tide, ettersom jeg også vil vise dere hva jeg har gjort. Denne laget jeg ferdig i dag - sitatet; "mas mas mas, over hele linja, mandag hele året, og det er ingenting å le av...." er fra en låt av et norsk rockeband (som også synger på norsk), som heter Dum Dum Boys. Synes sitatet passet så bra i dag 😄  

Forresten kan jeg nevne at jeg fant noe som het Art Journal på Panduro med slike kort inni. De var slettens ikke dum 😊 
Bildet over viser en side fra Art Journal fra Panduro som er en liten ringperm med cardstock. Man kan også få kjøpt disse cardstockene løst. 
Her har jeg brukt Dylusions Ink spray som bakgrunn, jeg har brukt Tim Holtz tissue paper, og diverse stempler fra Dylusions. Jeg har fargelagt jenten både med Promarker penner og Dylusions Ink spray som jeg har påført med pensel. Hatten er en sopp fra Dylusions-kolleksjonen som jeg har fargelagt med Ink spray påført med pensel.

Til sist vil jeg oppfordre deg til å gi meg en tilbakemelding dersom du foretrekker at jeg skriver på engelsk i fortsettelsen. Alle tilbakemeldinger blir høyt verdsatt, selvsagt!😊

Ønsker deg en fortsatt nydelig og kreativ mandag!

Klem fra Niti 🎨

Rubber Dance Art Stamps Challenge - MAY i BEE your Honey

Hei : )
Jeg bestemte meg for at jeg ville prøve meg konkurransen hos Rubber Dance Art Stamps. Månedens farger var så inspirende og herlige at jeg kunne ikke la være å lage noe søtt : )  Som du ser så har jeg brukt Manilla Tag og har et lite ordspill: MAY i BEE your honey : )

Jeg håper jeg vinner! Det hadde vært SÅ gøy og ikke minst inspirende til å fortsette med å lage kunst  : )

I decided that I would try the Challenge on Rubber Dance Art Stamps Blog. Month colors were so inspiring and lovely that I could not help but make something sweet:) As you can see I have used a manilla Tag and have a little pun: MAY BEE in your honey:)

I hope I win! It would be so much fun and very inspiring to keep up the good art work : )

Hvis du ønsker det kan jeg legge ut trinn for trinn hvordan jeg laget denne. Bare gi meg en tilbakmelding her på bloggen min.

Hei igjen : )
Som du ser er jeg ikke så veldig flink med utforming og laytout m.v. av blogg. Synes den er litt rotete og rar, men jeg tenker at det går seg sikkert til etterhvert som jeg blir litt mer kjent med bloggens verden. Så mens vi venter på at jeg skal bli mer erfaren innenfor bloggens verden håper jeg at du holder ut med meg. Jeg har egentlig lyst til å bruke mest tid på kunsten min og minst tid på PC'en, men jeg er også veldig glad i utfordringer og kontakt med andre kreative mennesker derfor prøver jeg meg jeg også som blogger : ) Tenkte jeg bare ville nevne dette, for ordens skyld ;)
As you can see I am not very good with design and laytout etc. by blog . Seems it is a bit messy and weird, but I think that it goes up surely as I get a little more familiar with the blog world. So while we wait for that I'll be more experienced in the blog world, I hope that you keep up with me . I really want to spend the most time on my art and least time on the computer , but I'm also very fond of challenges and connect with other creative people so I try to blog as well: ) Just thought I 'd just mention this :)

Nå som dette er sagt har jeg lyst å vise noe mer som jeg har laget. Denne gangen på lerret. Her har jeg brukt servietter, gelatos, designpapir, hvit posca penn, acrylmaling, stempler og stenciler.
Now that being said , I want to show something more that I have made ​​. This time on canvas . I have used tissuepaper , gelatos , design paper , white Posca pen , acrylic paint , stamps and stencils .

 



 



og denne. And this:

Mostly i just sit around all day beeing fabulous

Her har jeg tegnet både katten og blomstene selv. Resten er stempler og stenciler. Har brukt acrylmaling, samt noe designpapir.
Here I have drawn both cat and flowers. . The rest are stamps and stencils . Has used acrylic paint , as well as some design paper .

Jeg håper du liker det du ser og at du ønsker å skrive noen ord til meg. Det vil jeg sette svært stor pris på.

I hope you enjoy what you see and that you want to write a few words to me . That will be very much appreciated.

See You soon : )
