I've been having fun posting #artJOURNALINGdaily prompts on Instagram everyday. In case you haven't been able to follow, I'm sharing a round up of some of the creative prompts here on my blog with a detailed explanation of the artwork. The prompts range from painting, color palettes, handmade stamps, photography, doodling and creative exploration.

The page above was created on Strathmore 400 series Mixed Media paper. I attached various chevron papers, rub-ons & washi tape by Hambly Studios. Cut a printed inkjet photo of my artwork, then free motion stitched flowers and doodles using my Janome sewing machine. The word story is stitched onto a piece of drill cloth fabric.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>#artjournalingdaily prompt: white correction pen
-experiment with painting on fabric. add a piece of fabric to your journal by gluing it with Collage Pauge. my FAVE fabric to paint is drill cloth or unbleached muslin works nice too.
-this piece reads...BE FREE..take chances. write about something you've taken a chance doing. what was the outcome? how did you feel?
-scrape paint over fabric with an old hotel room key/gift card
-the red marks were created by stamping with the bottom of paint bottle
-use the edge of a plastic hotel room key/gift card, dip it in paint then press onto surface to create lines

-TIP: use the correction pen over painted fabric the lines will show better.
