Sweet friends,
I spent more than two hours on Pinterest for the last three nights!. LOL. Is that healthy?. Help, I'm totally an addict!. I can't stop pinning, one thing led to another. From shoes, bags, jewelry, decorative DIY, yoga and socks!. And I made journal pages base on the socks I saw, just so I won't feel so guilty :).
Here's my journal pages;
I took inspiration from the orange & black socks @ SocksKnee.com
I finger-smudged orange acrylic paint and stamped black gesso between horizontal masking tapes!. But, first adhered masking tapes horizontally and left some gaps for the paint :). When dried, continued with stamping bold patterns, stenciled 'BEAUTY MATTERS' with black gesso and scribbled some motivating words with black Sharpie & fine black Artline pen. I also dripped & flicked some black india ink. Then stamped a black linen with leftover orange paint.
That's all I have. Hope you enjoy the striking colors. And just maybe, try make some Pinterest-inspired journal pages for a change. See you soon :).
Hugs,
Shahrul

LOL, reasons aplenty!! :). One time, a grungy leather sling bag I saw on Pinterest inspired me to create a steampunk mini album!. Thanks!. Hugs.
DeleteNow that is STUNNING ... those colours really POP ... and the structure is very different from your usual free forms, this journal will be a masterpiece by the time you finish it!! xoxo hugs from Kel
ReplyDeleteThese pages are quite structured, you are right :). I think striking, bold colors help you feel warm in wintertime :). Thanks so much, Kel!. Hugs.
DeleteI'm enjoying Pinterest too! Heheh..this is a great journal page and interpretation from the socks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw it, i was reminded of something military....( even though it's not green). Probably the shapes and the bold letters....cool!!! Hey, have fun tomorrow ya! Too bad I can't make it...but I'll be journalling in ipoh...( will try)
its the chevron!. LOL. macam sarjan :). Thanks for the wish, do my best to come up with something :). Happy journaling in Ipoh!.
DeleteAh so you have plugged into the "Matrix" that IS Pinterest :) It is HIGHLY addicting...when I first started I lived in fear every time I left the house that I would return to find my husband had buried my computer in the back yard. I have to set a timer for myself now...otherwise he gets mad! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love how you have drawn inspiration from those fun and funky socks for your art journal page. So many fabulous details to behold! Love the stamped linen and all of the bold patterns. Your pages never cease to amaze! Now where do I find those socks?...He's in the shower...time to get pinning!
LOL..hey, that is a brilliant idea!! Set a timer for Pinterest!. You never cease to make me smile, Amy. Hugs. Thanks!
DeleteBrilliant use of socks! I love that they inspired such a fun journal spread!
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to the bold colors actually :). They happened to be just cute socks, don't you think?. Thanks so much.
DeleteWhat a great inspiration you had Shahrul-I want a pair of those socks-love the orange! Your pages turned out fabulous-so although you spent so much time on Pinterest, look what it did for your art! I had joined Pinterest some months ago but have not been on it in quite awhile because of all the time I was spending on it too:)
ReplyDeleteI should be in control of this 'new addiction'. Think I'm going to follow Amy's idea of setting a timer for myself when I go pinning next :). Thanks, Linda!.
DeleteBeautiful pages and love it that the socks have inspired you.
ReplyDeleteLovelt greet
