What Do YOU See? | Wreck This Journal

I'm here today with my last post of the week.  I cannot promise such regular posting going forward but hope to achive far more regular crafting to share with you.
                           
Again I worked im my Wreck This Journal to create this page.  After following the prompt, to "Close the Book to Make a Print", I looked at the patterns created.  I could see various things in the splotches on the page.  I contemplated turning the page into a more structured piece, outlining and adding to the shapes, but purposely decided to leave it as is, for the viewers imagination to decide what is in front of them.
                   

                                     

I'll write what I saw at the end of this post, but what do YOU see?  Please leave a comment, either here on my blog or on Facebook to let me know. I'm fascinated!

Wreck This Journal | Fill This Page With Circles

Hello readers. I'm back today with another page in my Wreck This Journal, this time using the prompt "Fill This Page With Circles"
                            

             

I layered the background with circles from bottle caps along with fingerprints, and for the foreground I went with round(ish) objects, balloons!

           

Gelatos, acrylic paints and paint markers were all used in th making of this page.

Pride | Wreck This Journal

I was going to apologise once again for the long absences this past year, but I'm not sorry.  I needed the break.
                            

Now is the right time to pick up my art journals. Now is the right time to make a card or two. Now is the time where my break has done me good and I've started to feel that yearning to craft once again.

                                   

Art joournal page, simply done with paint markers

                           

So here I am, sharing my first journal page in a year.  A simple doodled one today, celebrating Pride month.  
             
This page was done in my Wreck This Journal, using the prompt "Write One Word Over and Over".

3D Art Journaling | PLANT POT

Firstly I want to apologise for being so absent. Crafting has slowed down for me of late.

But I'm still here and definitely still crafting, just slower and doing more long projects.

So today I have a large plant pot to show you. This pot had been dropped and broken. It had great sentimental value to us so I repaired it with epoxy resin and have it a facelift with acrylic paints!
                            

               

After painting I sealed it with several costs of a clear spray paint suitable for outdoor use.

Crafting Star Trek | Borg Cube Money Box

Thought I would FINALLY share with you a Star Trek project made months ago!

    

Those who know Star Trek will hopefully recognize this as a Borg Cube, the primary space ship utilised by arguably one of the franchises best villain races!

                   

     

     

I made mine entirely from scratch and the green areas light up!  There are 2 coin slots in the lid, one each for silver and copper coins. Then there is an additional section inside for saving or hiding other treasures found whilst conquering the quadrant!
