  • A new page in this Altered Book Art Journal inspired by a new visitor to my garden :-)
    In this page I used:
    Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke
    Archival Ink (black and shadow grey)
    Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils
    Stamp was from Make Your Mark shop in York, UK
    White Posca pen
    Liquitex Matte Gel
    Windsor and Newton white gesso
    Oh, and Rosco the cat too!
    I hope this inspires you to get creating!

    What a unique art journal!!! I am a bird watcher/photographer and this project is just so appealing to me. I can draw fairly well lol. so I really want to do this!! I heard this music the first time on your channel a few months ago and had to go find it! Addicted to that beautiful sound as much as your art. Will be trying this with a lot of bird images I’ve collected over the years! Thank you so very much ❤

    I’m not allowed (by me) to put woodpeckers in my art even though I adore all nature, because the woodpeckers continue to poke holes into my son’s house which he has to repair before selling. Then they discovered babies in one of the holes 😳 so they are waiting for them to fly away before they fix that hole!! Life can be so humorous and often reminds us that we are not always in control and that when we are we need to be thoughtful!! 😊

    I love this so much! Where I live in Northern Arizona, we get 4 kinds of woodpeckers! This is one of your spreads where it's not so intricate and I think I would like to do something similar. (I even have a stamp set featuring leaves that I ordered recently!) I love your channel si much! Most of my art is inspired by Nature. Although I learn techniques from people who do art featuring faces, it's not something I've ever done. ❤from Prescott, AZ USA

    First time catching your channel and really enjoyed watching you create those lovely pages; in particular I liked what you did with re-stamping those leaves onto torn-out pages, tearing around them, then emphasising the edges (I always like 'putting text back into the book' too... 😏)

    I’m borrowing some inspiration from you today. It’s the birds, pale blue, and trees today! Cats 💯 know when were calm. I read that when cats soak up the sun’s vit d , they will sit on their family to transfer it. It’s important for cats to sun , even if only a sunbeam theyre jist like little battery packs. Cats truly vibe and he likes the energy you’re putting out.

I have been following you on Instagram for some time now and didn't even think about you having the UA-cam channel. Silly me and now I am enthralled. Such wonderful creative ideas that I have not seen anywhere else before and it looks like you use what you have instead of lots of digital's I hope. I don't have enough good words to describe how awesome I think your work is. Blessings and love
