Art Journal Spider Webs

Spider Web screen capture

This week on The Artistic Biker Live! Taking a cue from Emil “Rocky” Fiore (http://www.whirledwidewebs.com), I decided to try and capture a spider web intact in my journal. I took my journal and my spray paints, my camera and my friend out to the bridge behind the studio and caught two abandoned spider webs for my background.  Then I painted some spidery goodness while eating ice cream from the ice cream man who happened by.  It was a very fun night!

Announcements:

Art Journaling Dot Ning Dot Com has two new workshops that are donation based.  The Cult of Stuff is a workshop dedicated to art journaling without all of the stencils and stamps – just a very basic pad and some pens.  Also, the In The Sun workshop is a follow along prompt list to get your butt out and creating.

While we’re talking about donations, in the upper right hand corner of this sight you will see a donate button.  Please feel free to click that and make a contribution! Click Here to Donate to Oasis!

@DarcyW has a series of prompts and challenges going on at her Art and Sole website called 52 Pages. She’ll give you a single word prompt like “Endeavor”, “Crush”, or “Replicate”, and leave it to your imagination how you will use it in your journal.

@TheMightyJay has another edition of The Dark Muse available for download.  I have been in every issue so far, but this month I wasn’t able to contribute.  However, my good friend Jay went ahead and did a brief write up for me anyway.  Thanks Jay!

@gypsy999 has a challenge out there for you to “journal” on an index card every day.  Just something that small could spark your creativity like a jolt of lightening.  Check it out Here!

    • Thank you very much! Yes indeed they were strong webs, but I also enhanced them by misting some silver or black spray paint over them to make them stronger as well as easier to see on the page.
