  • A new page in this Altered Book Art Journal inspired by this wise Mr Owl and some beautiful autumnal colours!
    In this page I used:
    Collage pieces cut from various old illustrated countryside and bird books picked up from the charity shop
    Distress Ink pads in Rusty Hinge, Rustic Wilderness, Crushed Olive, Vintage Photo, Ground Espresso
    Derwent Inktense pencils in Bark
    Bruynzeel pastel pencil (no. 44)
    Liquitex Matte Gel
    Windsor and Newton white gesso
    And lots of Hi-Tack all purpose glue!
    I hope this inspires you to get creating!

    I didn’t want the video to end! I am a newbie and learning all kinds of wonderful things on UA-cam but this is the first video I have seen of this kind. Your work is incredible and so beautiful, I can hardly wait to see the other pages. Although I will never reach your heights of talent and skill (I am in my 70’s just making my first journal) you are such an inspiration to us all. ❤

    Extraordinary! Magical! I love it, and I loved watching you make the vignette. I haven’t seen anything else like this on UA-cam. Whose videos do you like to watch for inspiration? There’s another collage artist I like to watch. She combines images to create funny, absurd art. She’s really good at cutting, and then weaving images together. Her channel is [east of honey]. Thank you for this video. It made me very happy. 😊

    • @SpiritofNatureArt

So much of my inspiration comes from stepping outside my front door and going out in to nature! I love watching the channels of France Papillon, Lemon Creative, ShanoukiArt, Art Journal Love, Robin Donnelly.... so many great mixed media artists out there creating amazing, inspirational art 💜

    When this one is completed and you're showing us the earlier pages, when you get to the last one the owl is MOVING! It seems animated at first. I love all your work. You always offer such originality and inspiration. Thank you! (If I'd seen this a few hours ago I'd have made today's page totally different! I have about 6-7 layers but they were all glued down and became a single page. I could easily have made it like this. Next time!!!

      I have a book that I use to play around with techniques, no page ever has to be finished, or match with the one before or shown to anyone, it's just a book to play with and build up your confidence. You can also take a page out and work on it, that way if you don't like it you don't have to keep it. If it comes out well you can stick it in the book. The most important thing to remember is to have fun, nothing in life has to be perfect! 💜

    My first encounter with an altered book was in college (70's) and i found in the local bookstore The Humament. An altered book that made it into print. Always loved picture books and pop up books, origami, kirigami (I think thats the one cutting paper), stationery, wax seals for envelopes. BUT need to try my hand at it. I wish my art supplies weren't stolen.

    • @SpiritofNatureArt
