Who Knew?

I was watching Coffee and Art in the Morning on Ustream the other day (love this show) and the lady was talking about varnishing her acrylic work.

Promise

I finished my art journal challenge yesterday. I found a really neat photo of the Statue of Liberty taken from the torch. I used acrylic paint, photo images, Sakura Gellyroll pen, Pentel RSVP pen, music stamp. I used 9x12 XL Canson Mix Media paper. I included the quote: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses/ Yearning to breathe free."

"Promise"

Second Blog

I am starting a second blog for more of my art/mixed media/journal type stuff. I don't know how long this blog will be in existence or how well I will be at keeping it updated. This is just an experiment.

I went to my local Blick store today and purchased a few new things. I bought a 9x12 Canson XL Mix Media book and got a 5.5x8.5 book for free. I also purchased 2 new Derwent Inktense pencils (Dark Aquamarine, Dark Chocolate), 2 Prismacolor/premiere pencils (Burnt Ochre, Sienna Brown), a Micron 01 pink pen, some cheapy brushes, some Tombow Mono liquid glue, and some Utrecht white gesso.
