Art Journaling 102: Technique Focus – DIY Cluster Embellishments!

spacer Published November 24, 2012 | By Julie Ann Shahin

First Order of Business…

Oops! I forgot to post Tangie’s page last week for the prompt on Which movie star no longer living would you cast to star in a movie about your own life? Please forgive me Tangie!!!! (I think she was in Colorado and didn’t even notice. LOL)

Here is her amazing page that has been finished since September!

TANGIE – “I Don’t Know What to Write Myth-Buster Prompt #14 (link to prompt)

Ok, now onto new business!!! We’ve got a brand-new technique focus for you this week:

Technique Focus – Make Your Own Cluster Embellishments from Studio Tangie elements!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday if you celebrated Thanksgiving in the U.S., and also survived Black Friday shopping, if you were brave enough. I haven’t been out shopping in several years, I have decided to do all my shopping online, if not making things by hand. I am too old to have patience for the crowds at the stores nowadays!

If you’d like to find some zen after the shopping craziness, try your hand at our Technique Focus this week – use Studio Tangie elements to create Cluster Embellishments. This awesome idea came from our  own ingenius Creative Team Member Leslie aka lharvey81.

The idea is to take elements from a kit, or different kits, and create clusters that you’ll have ready to use when the mood strikes you to make a page! The page will come together all that much FASTER!

Let’s look at examples of clusters put together by the Creative Team, and how they used them on a page.

To see the road before me
To always keep hope alive
Despite obstacles that block my way
To follow the Golden path
of beauty
of heart
Despite discouragement and frustration
to always keep hope alive

spacer La Luna, Holder of Watery Wisdom
Please come to my dreaming body,
Fill me with fluidity and power of the tides, the soft light
Pouring the depth of understanding into my soul, allowing my being
to take winged flight.
La Luna, Luminescent grace,
traversing my inner galaxy, whisper of love into my ear,
the music of the unknown.
