Tam is a great teacher. The lesson I just finished taught us how to draw whimsey girls. the prompt was about healing a childhood trauma. This was my take.

>I’ve combined a few prompts with this journal entry.
There’s CeeLo Green’s song F*ck You, done for A Year in the Life of an Art Journal It’s a little tough to read, on the right side is the line…although there’s pain in my chest, I still wish you the best, from the song. I love this song, and probably everyone who’s not living in a cave has heard it. I added the * for my sister. (*waving at Sue*)
Also Wild Precious week 2 of 52 weeks. The Prompt was Filter. The background included a lot of the techniques shown for Week 18 Wild Precious Art Journal
As you can see I’ve included a few Octopodes just for fun.

>*giggle* Just so happens that I have an atc and a 12×12. (The Octopode on my ATC is Alice.) Perfect, eh?
Have a great weekend!
>My name is Scatter and I’m an Octonut!! (my own made up word)
I love these little guys. I first came across them at Mandy’s Magical World of Art. I just ordered 5 of the collage sheets. I’ll be working with them this week. I’m so excited to have finally bought them!
Lilly from the Octopde Factory would love to have you vote for her in the TOP 100 digital stamping sites. The button is on the right side of her blog!
If you haven’t visited yet.(and I’d like to know why not?!) Stop by and take a look at the new Captain Jack she’s designed!! She’ also gonna have some wild David Bowie stamps coming soon!
Her Etsy shop is here she has both digital and rubber stamps available. Go ahead, have some fun today!

>This page was done for a prompt at Wild Precious in combination with several prompts at Green Isles Crafts
I never know which way my brain is going to go. I just write the prompts down on a post-it and let things flow.

>I ordered this print from Etsy on May 6th, it arrived at my home on May 14th, and she traveled all the way across the ‘big pond’!!
Wow!! What service.
Customisable Art Print – Saffy Safflower
The print is gorgeous! The paper the crispness, you’ve got to see it to believe it!
I don’t know if we can explain what it is about a piece of art that calls to us. Saffy kept calling me back. I can’t tell you how many times I went back and looked at her before I hit the buy button.
After I ordered her, I was sorting some files in my computer. There she was…Saffy’s little sister, looking right at me.
That’s a drawing done by my 5yo Granddaughter. It made me smile. (the hair was actually supposed to be dreadlocks). She’s a little artist in the making.
So I love them both, and they will hang on my wall together.
I’d also ordered a couple of Rosie’s printable collage sheets. She really does wonderful work! Maybe there’s something in her Etsy Store that will call to you.

This page has been in the back of my mind for a while. The background I’d done some time ago. I just scribbled with a green watercolor crayon and washed over it. I inked with the punchinellia, and went over it all with a blueish Glimmer Mist.
Then I covered the whole thing up with shoes!! I’m sure you can tell that some of the letters are stickers, some were stamped, and just a tiny bit of my own handwriting!
The Rodney I’m referring to, of course, the infamous Rodney King.
PS I’d been searching everywhere for the punchinellia, Joanns, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for. As did the lady at the florist, until the lightbulb in her head went on, and she realized what I was describing! Whoo hoo, took me a long time to locate it locally.
PPS for my brother and sister who may read this and still won’t know…. punchinellia, is sequin waste. it’s a piece of plastic ribbon that’s the left over after they punch out the sequins.
