This week, the challenge at College Obsession is to create something inspired by children's literature. What's your favorite book? Here's two of mine:
I recently saw "The Great and Powerful Oz" (movie), so I knew I would start there. Plus, I had a N-E-W hot air balloon stamp from Stampers Anonymous. And I couldn't wait to use it!
I decided to focus on the lessons found in "Oz" & other stories, and create an art journal page. Here's my work-in-progress picture...
(click pics for closeups)
(Not sure...should I have stuck with version 1? LOL)
To make the page, I used:
- Twinkling H2O watercolors on the hot air balloon & rainbow.
- A black Sharpie & colored pencils on the words.
- Pan Pastels to shade the background.
OMGoodness, I used Pan Pastels for the first time! I think I'm addicted!
(Pan Pastels & Twinkling H2Os)
Have you tried them before? I had so much fun! They are pastels in "cake" form. You can control the amount of color you put on the page by using an applicator. (I used Q-tips, and * "Sofft Tool Knives" with covers. Both worked well.)
Friends, thanks so much for stopping by today! To see all the art entries at the Collage Obsession Challenge, just click **here**.
God Bless & XO

Great work, I wish I could get some hands on, but I usually end up with mud colours, love the pages. Cheers
Lovely to see how many aspects of the Wizard of Oz incorporated on your journal page. It makes a great reminder of the film ..... Which I saw when it was released in the early 1940s and never forgot, so I'm glad you got that rainbow in there.
Thanks so much, Jez & Kaylene!
I crave those pan pastels. I know they are in my future! Love what you did. Journaling is a lot of fun.xx
