So I finished my old Art Journal a month or so back. And I've been dying to start another one ever since. It's cool now, because my new friend, Xochie, is also into collaging and she keeps a collage-book as well. So xochie is partly the reason I'm feeling inspired to start up again!!
I'm preparing myself for a big move in december!! I'm moving to Los Angeles!! I've never lived there - infact, I've never lived anywhere other than Las Vegas. So, needless to say, I fucking hate this place. And I am SO ready to embark on my own adventure somewhere else!!
I even purchased the 'Wallpaper City Guide :: Los Angeles'. I want to study up on the history, culture, and geography before I go there!!
gah! I'm thrilled!!
Hopefully all goes well. <3
but I didn't forget about you,
I'm just a lazy stoner.
:]
So I've pretty much finished up my very first Moleskine. I'm really glad. It was a lovely journey discovering my creative talents. I can't wait to crack open my new sketchbook!
I also finally made a cover for sketchbook #1
I've discovered that decoration on the outside of journals is really easy with Outdoor Mod Podge. It's great! It's waterproof, permanent, and fast drying.
I actually purchased the Mod Podge Starter Kit. And that has been one of the most useful tools to me yet. Glue is a wonder to me. lol
Nothing new herrrre. Same old, same old. Just signing on to post a few pics. Filling everyone in on what I've been wasting my time with these days. hmm... where to start. WELL, I go a smashing deal on a brush set. At Arron Brothers (framing and fine art supplies), they just had a HUUGE semi-annual sale thing going on. I got this set of 18 paint brushes for $5!!! Great freaking deal! And they came in this simple canvas roll-up bag. But this made life so much easier!!
And ofcorse I threw in some of my old brushes, too. They need a safe home as well...
And I know you guys are thinking.. "What is a post from Ashley without some sort of scan from her Moleskine Journal" .... Well, you're about right. So here's a scan from a spread I did a couple days ago. It's sort of about my boss at work. He's a total theif.
au revoir!
I've got 2 more pages filled since yesterday. I just can't get enough of this.
I bought a slew of new pens today. I got the new Gelly Roll "Glaze" Pens. They're pretty neat. They write in 3d, and come in some really trippy colors. The final product resembles that of embossed text. But without the powdery mess. :) And the less mess I make, the happier I am.
And I've decided that I really really want to take my Moleskine traveling. Somewhere exotic. But I suppose that would take me actually taveling to accomplish that. I need a more exciting life. Well, I'm going on a Party Boat trip next month. Thats about as close as i get to traveling. lol.
Well, have a good day everyone.
So I got my first set of watercolors yesterday!!
I got them for quite the steal! Originally, this 6 tube set was $22.50, but I was able to get it for $2.50!! Smashing deal!
Anywho, I'll just share a quick link before I take off. Lovely Mailorder has the cutest pocket journals. Go there and see what I mean. All of the papers are different inside, and they look like they're great quality. **Sortof wishing I didn't order the Moleskine.... nevermind. I'm still excited about that one**
My Moleskine should be coming in the mail either today or tomorrow!! <3
yaaaay!!
Today got off to an early start. At 6 am. BLAHH I hate being at work that early! But
it's nice getting off earlier, as well. Before I headed off to the old job, I sat down and did some doodling. I was feeling inspired to do some sketching after looking through krisatomic's sketchbooks. Check that stuff out. She's quite creative. And fashionable. <3
Annnywho, I'm off to go hang out with the boyfriend!! I'll update later.
