get messy: season of fairytales week four

September 19, 2017

Naturally, I’m so behind on Get Messy Season of Fairytales. The season is basically over and I’m just posting week four’s spreads. Though to be fair, I was away for three weeks during the season and these next few pages I’m about to share are the last few I created in my art journal. I’m not sure if I’ll continue with week five and six prompts, or end it here, since the first signature of the handmade art journal I made is already filled up. I’m thinking of revisiting the Season of Magic for the second signature and then the Season of Dreams for the third and final signature in this art journal. So if I go about doing that, these are my final pages of Season of Fairytales.

This first spread began with the image of the woman (who’s actually Jenna Dewan Tatum, aka Channing Tatum’s wife). It was in a bunch of magazine pages the lovely Trish, @timefliesaustin on IG, sent me. I loved the image. I distinctively saying that Jenna looks “like an Ice Queen.” She just had this fierce look to her, so of course, I had to use it in my journal.

This spread came about quickly. I layered a mint green doily behind her, then a yellow flower on top. I added a butterfly I fussy cut from a Maggie Holmes paper, then two gold glitter heart stickers to accent it off. Lastly, I added some black ink splatters, my favorite. And of course, I covered her eyes, this time with a strip from an Alice in Wonderland book that reads “the Queen never left.”

This spread is actually two different pages. The first page was inspired by that silhouette of a female that I got from a Daphne’s Diary magazine. I used the male silhouette in a previous page, so I decided to use the female one here. I had cut out that phrase “I’m a Duchess,” from the same Alice in Wonderland book I’ve been using throughout this art journal, to use on the previous page, but it didn’t make the cut. I still wanted to use it, so I added it to this page.

So I layered a page from the Alice book behind the silhouette and tucked a floral I fussy cut from a Heidi Swapp paper behind it too. I then added the “I’m a Duchess” phrase strip and underneath added the negative of a love sticker that I had already used. I love keeping the negative bits of those stickers you use from 6×12 sticker sheets, because I can just fussy cut around them and use them in my art journals. I did the same thing for the three hearts that I added along the border between the silhouette and the floral.

For this last spread, I tried my hand at creating galaxies. Katie Smith has a really fun free tutorial up on the Get Messy blog where she gives you a peek into her new Painting Galaxies class. So I had a go at it while I was traveling through Barcelona and it came out alright. It’s not the greatest and even if I had all of my supplies with me, it still probably would have came out about the same.

Anyway, I layered some fabric and this owl image I got from a Daphne’s Diary magazine over it because the colors matched so perfectly. Then collaged a bit of that Alice book paper and more Maggie Holmes butterflies over it. I ended up tucking a white doily onto the next page, because I wanted to leave it blank, but the peach/pink paper seemed to stand out too much and I wanted to balance out the delicateness of the white lace trim.

This season was super fun! I honestly love every single page and spread I made in this art journal. I don’t think that has ever happened before. But I loved exploring the idea of fairytales and working with a limited number of supplies really made each page tie into one another, so the entire signature looks seamlessly cohesive. I love that. Hopefully I’ll continue exploring the magic around that when I revisit the Season of Magic in my next signature!

Sharing another spread from my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel today. This one was to get a lot of different ephemera pieces into this book. Honestly, I've been keeping this project super simple and low-key. Not stressing too much about how it looks or whether or not I'm behind. Just enjoying the process of snipping and sticking. And of course lots of journaling!

Happy Monday loves. I do hope you're all well. xx

I shared a quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I haven't been very good at sharing these pages (or any journal pages) here lately. TBH, I've kind of been focusing on other things recently and doing more straight writing journaling than creative journaling. It's weird. I'm in a weird space. But I also feel like I'm supposed to be in this space, you know?

I shared the quick process of creating this spread in my @daphnes.diary scrapbook on my Youtube channel the other day. I'm quite behind in sharing all of these pages (and to be honest quite behind in actually documenting my last few weeks) but it is what it is. I'm not stressing it...just like how I'm not stressing that I'm MONTHS behind in my 5-year journal lol. Glad I've been daily journaling in my planner! xx

My new (small) TBR book stack for this year. I have it to hopefully read 20 books this year, but I decided to only pull out about 10 to see if I can get through that first. Y'all, I'm terrible at reading these days. I think I just need to do better at making time for it, so I started reading before bed. We'll see how it goes. Friend me on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/aerialovely! I love seeing everyone's challenges! xx

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx
