After the 61 days of Index Card a Day Challenge was done. Tammy Garcia developed another project, Art Journal
Tangent and Techniques. Each Friday in August a journaling technique was shared. Many of the techniques were taken from Classes Tammy had taught in the past. I am going to write about them, not in any particular order; rather by the way they made me feel.
The technique I am showing today was about making random squares (a grid if you will) using acrylic paint and a wide paint brush. First I thought about the book that I would use and the Junk Mail journal came to mind. I really love this book, but because the pages are brightly colored papers and glossy cards it was going to take a lot of work gessoing each page. But, but, but.....these squares are simply perfect for covering the page and then creating magic. Magic I tell you.
Ok, just a little dramatic, but the outcome is something I really love. Because I have to make my own interpretation to any project, the squares took on a life of their own. Inchies, rectangles, 2 inches, horizontal rectangles, vertical rectangles shaped by the collage images I chose to put on the paper. I finally feel comfortable collaging. I can finally relate to the concept and I am in love.
Summer is almost over. The staycation ends next Sunday. It has been a blast. I have had so much fun creating and learning not just about art, but also about myself.
Thanks for stopping by and please say hi. Comments make me so happy.

Glenda -- experimenting and giving ourselves permission to "fail" (although every less-than-successful attempt has taught me something) really means massive success! I've had some real bombs this summer, but I've come away with some new information -- so that's a good thing. Congrats on having such a lovely and productive staycation. You continue to be an inspiration!!
Christine thanks so much for your kind comments
Glenda, so love the project! Wish I could re-create it. -Hugs :) Vanessa
Vanessa, feel free to recreate in your own style, I know it will be great.
Beautiful. I so love grids!
I love how your page turned out so earthy. Even though some of the images are brighter, everything seems a little subdued. +1'ed your blog. Happy creating!!!
Thank You Mary Beth, this is my first time doing a grid, but I do love it.
Thank you Sandra.
This spread looks like it was really fun to make - the best kind of pages!
Marjie, it was fun and very freeing
