Lady Gaga

Thanks for the comment 準備吹發, through google translater I'm almost sure what it means ^^.
Sorry, I don't speak chinese. I'm comfortable with english and german and that's pretty much it.

The prompt for today was "listen to music".
so I put on some Lady Gaga and went berserk with my materials ^^

I recently bought some sandwich paper, you know, the thin, transparend stuff and tried first to spray it with some watercolor and water:

but it wasn't as effectful as I hoped, so I got my credit card out again and some acrylic paint (gold and silver, yummy ^^).
I finished the paper off with some splashes from a toothbrush and thinned acrylic paint

It will work as a transparent layer in my art journal later, to conceal or to protect something from smearing =)
It was so much fun! but unfortunately my credit card broke -.- I hope I have another old one somewhere.

pictures from my art journal follow soon!
xoxo

Art Journaling

Just a quick post today.
I've joined this great march challenge on Art Journaling and must say, I was inspired right away. I'll probably make every prompt posted yet in one or two days to catch up ^^.
I'm new to this whole idea of Art Journaling and have no problem getting started yet (I spend hours with my paints and brushes every day) but it is great fun to see other people take the same prompt and making something totally different and individual, yet the same!
I really have to take some pictures to show you guys!
What do you think of Art Journaling anyway. Did you have any idea that something like this existed? Well, I didn't =). Do you like to swing your brushes and spill your paint as much as I do? When did you doodle the last time?
