I am taking a fabulous art journaling class from Dina Wakley at Get It Scrapped called Graffiti of My Life. Dina uses lots of paint and spray ink and stencils. I am pretty familiar with stencils because Club Scrap, the monthly scrapbooking club I've been a member of since 2001, always has a stencil in their monthly kit. It's been so much fun to see how Dina uses them in her art journals. On her blog, she recently posted about one of her inspirations in the stenciling world - Ed Roth. When I checked out his blog, I realized that the Paris Street Art I fell in love in Summer, 2008, was actually stencil art. I took lots of pictures of the street art, did a scrapbook page with the pictures, turned the pictures into a collage sheet and have incorporated the images into all kinds of art including the card, fisheye collage, and textured collage seen here. It's amazing the things you learn when you take a new class!I also think my photography has definitely gotten better, as a result of the suggestions that have been posted so far in response to my weekend give-away. You still have until 9:00 pm. California time tonight to comment on this post to get a chance to win. Thanks for visiting!
Just popping in to say hi from Shimelle's class. Some intersting links here!
ReplyDeleteScrummy work - and beautifully photographed :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I wanted to mention that, as always, you can click on any of the pictures to see more detail - especially helpful for the scrapbook page, I think. Also, the detailing on the textured collage at the bottom of the post (swirl and notes) was done with a stencil.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I'm a big Dina Wakely fan too. She puts so much into her classes. Lovely work!
ReplyDeletePS Of course I don't hate you for finishing your Christmas cards lol - I'm just very jealous! ;-)

ReplyDeletePaint, spray ink, and stencils!!!! That sounds incredibly appealing. . . and incredibly messy! And how cool to combine it with photography as well!
