Butterfly

Jeg er ferdig med enda ei side i Wanderlust boka mi,

og igjen har jeg prøvd meg på ting jeg ikke kan!

Moro å lære nye ting,

og ikke minst teste de ut i boka mi :)

*******

I have finished another spread in my Wanderlust art journal,

and again I have tried something new to me!

So much fun to learn new things,

and to try them out in my book :)

Her har jeg limt på canvas i bakgrunnen først,

deretter noen striper med canvas, og blonder.

Så brukte jeg en diamant stensil, deretter malte jeg alt med hvit gesso.

********

Here I have glued on some canvas in the back,

then i glued on some canvas strips and lace.

Then I used a diamond stencil, and when it was dry I painted it all with white gesso.

Jeg brukte Tattered angels chalkboard sprayer pluss vann,

 for å få til fargespill.

***********

I used Tattered angels chalkboard sprays and water,

to make the colours spread.

Sommerfuglen er kartong med metal tape over,

stanset ut med sizzix die.

Brukte en stensil og modelig paste, 

og når det var tørt malt jeg med svart gesso.

***********

The butterfly is cardstock with metal tape over,

cut out with a sizzix die.

Then I used a stencil and modeling paste,

when it was dry I painted it with black gesso.

Ha en kreativ og flott dag,

klem fra Maya

A new spead in my Wanderlust art journal :)

Her har jeg prøvd meg på busker og grantre ;)

Så moro å lage disse sidene, og jeg koser meg med å lage de!

Jeg har først malt bakgrunnen min, 

deretter prøvde jeg med forskjellige typer pensler å lage busk og tre.

Bildmålarna stempelet er farget på aquarell papir med distress reinkers og markers.

Skyggelagt med Faber castell big brush penner.

**********

Here I have tried my best at bushes and spruce tree ;)

I had so much fun, making this spread!

I fist painted the background,

then I used different brushes to make the bush and tree.

The Bildmalarna stamp is stamped onto aquarell papers,

and coloured with distress reinkers and markers.

Used Faber castell big brush pens for more depth in the shadows.

Ei lita bildmålarna jente fikk være med i skogen :)

Wanderlust Love letter

Jeg meldte meg på Wanderlust 2017,

og her er en av oppgavene jeg har laget i boka mi :)

*************

I joined the Wanderlust 2017,

and here is one of the spreads in my journal :)

Her har jeg brukt transfer teknikk for å få bildet av oss inn i boka.

Hele siden ble også malt med svart gesso,

 før jeg stemplet svirlene og embosset de med klart embossing pulver.

Malte så over med iced spruce distress maling, og tørket a malingen her og der.

Moro side å lage!

****************

Here I have used the transfer technique to get the picture of us in the book.

The whoe spread was first covered in black gesso,

then I stamped the swirl and embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Then I painted over the whole thing with iced spuce distress paint,

let it dry a bit, then whiped it of here and there.

So much fun to make!

Ha en flott dag,

klem fra Maya

Breathe

Igjen har jeg laget noe i Wanderlust art journalen min.

**********

I have made e new spread in my Wanderlust art journal.

Her skulle vi velge tre farger fra omgivelsene, 

vi fikk bruke hvitt, svart og grått i tillegg.

Jeg valgte blått, rosa og gull etter noen av de flotte morningene vi har hatt.

Siden er tenkt som en liten påminnelse til å fokusere på de små tingene som betyr noe,

og att jeg må huske å puste når smerteriene er for voldomme.

*************

This time we should chose three colours from our surroundings,

we could also use white, black and grey to.

I chose blue, pink and gold after some of the mornings we have had here in Norway.

The idea behind the spread is a reminder to focus on the little things,

and that I must remember to breathe when the body pain crumble my body.

For å lage treene har jeg brukt kredittkort, og papir.

Ingen pensler!

*************

To make the trees I have used creditcard and folded paper,

no brushes!

Ha en flott dag,

klem fra Maya

Wanderlust #3

Uke 3 i Wanderlust handler om å tegne på frihånd.

Jaha! Tegning er IKKE min sterke side!

Det er derfor jeg elsker stempler,

Jeg klarer ikke å tegne en rett strek en gang,

og denne gangen skulle vi tegne blomster...

*************

Week 3 in Wanderlust is all about freehand drawing.

Weel, drawing is NOT my cup of tea!

Thats way I love stamps,

I can`t even draw a line.

And this time we should draw some flowers...

Blomstene mine er ikke akkurat noe å skryte av,

men jeg er mektig stolt av att jeg faktisk har prøvd!

Og undre over alle undre, det kom frem ei dame der inne også!!

Åhh, denne siden ble jeg så utrolig stolt av ♥

Jeg digger Wanderlust!!

************

My flowers isn`t anything to brag about,

but I am so proud that i have tried!

And it must have been a miracle, because I made a women in there to!!

Ohhh, I am so proud of this spread ♥

I so enjoy the Wanderlust!!

Herlighet, JEG har tegnet!

***********

Oh my, I have drawn!

Sitatet er skrevet for hånd,

med pensel og penn.

Ha en flott start på uka,

klem fra Maya

The quote is written by hand,

with a brush and a pen.

Have a wonderful Monday,

Uke 2 i Wanderlust, og denne gangen skulle vi male lag på lag.

Uten å ha noe spesielt mål, bare kose oss med prosessen!

*************

Week 2 in Wanderlust, and this time we was to paint layer up on layer.

Without a goal, just enjoy the process!

Siden startet som gul, skikkelig gul!

Så ble den orange, rød og tilslutt så den ut som en sliten trevegg!

Da fant jeg ut att jeg var ferdig ;)

Jeg fikk fram igjen litt av det gule, røde og orange, ved å bruke en våt klut

og det synes jeg forsterket følelsen av gammel trevegg!

**************

The spread startet out yellow, very yellow!

Then it became orange, then red and at last i thought it looked like an old wooden wall!

Then i decided that it was finished ;)

I got some of the yellow, red and orange up, by using a wet cloth

and that made it look even more like a wooden wall!

Gamle boksiden gjemmer seg under glittervingene :)

Litt magi, på en vanlig hverdag!

**********

Old bookpages hiding under the glitter wings :)

Some magic, on a normal weekday!

Ha en super dag,

Wanderlust 2017

I september, og før jeg fikk tenkt meg om,

så kjøpte jeg meg plass på Wanderlust 2017!

Og fredag braket det løs!

Ett helt år, fylt med art journaling og mixed media klasser.

Med ny video hver fredag, og masse spennende å lære!

**************

In September, and before I thought it through,

I bought the Wanderlust 2017 ticket!

And last Friday was the day it startet!

A whole year, filled with art journaling and mixed media classes.

With a new video every Friday, and so much inspiration and to learn!

Det første vi skulle gjøre var å lage oss ei side i art journalen,

med vårt motto, mantra eller kall det hva du vil ;)

Jeg er jo ikke så glad i sånn "planløs" klin, eller jeg skjønner det ikke!

Og hjernen min liker orden, så jeg måtte lage siden min slik.

Teksten er ganske grei, det er akkurat det jeg må huske!

I venstre hjørne er det en uferdig snømann, det er min usynlige mentor ;)

**************

The first thing to do was to make a art journal page,

with a statement.

I am no fan of "aimlessly" go with the flow thing, or I don`t get it!

And my brain likes order, so I had to make my spread like this.

The text is just what it is, a reminder for me to have fun and play!

In the left corner there is a unfinished snowman, that is my invisible mentor ;)

Jeg måtte jo ha med ett stempelmotiv, det er jo meg!

Også passet de perfekt i min journal ide :)

**************

I had to have a stamped image, that is so me!

And they fit perfectly into my journal idea :)

På sidene er det stemplet snøkrystaller, 

men de vises dessverre ikke så godt på bildene!

***********

Onto the sprad I have stamped lots of snowflakes,

but they don`t show on the pics unfortunately!

Ha en flott dag,

klem fra Maya
