Wreck This Journal: Instructions

The instructions page... where do I begin? The tittle of this journal appears often in the comments, usually to remind me that I did it wrong. But I think this people seem to have overlooked the 'Instructions Page'.

1. Carry this with you everywhere you go. 
2. Follow the instructions on every page.
3. Order is not important.
4. Instructions are open to interpretation.
5. Experiment. (work against your better judgment)

And we shouldn't forget about the author Keri Smith, who is a conceptual artist who makes this books for people to experiment, even if they think the can't.

Thanks to this book, I used methods and materials that I wouldn't think of using before, I gained confidence in my drawing skills and I don't worry anymore if a drawing is missing or if I screwed up, because what is important is the process of making something out of nothing.

So there is no right or wrong way, just do what you want and enjoy it.

                                               

How to make a Candle holder

Hello! I wanted to share with you how to recycle a bottle and make a candle holder.

What will you need?

• Bottle
• Picture or paper and a printer
• Sealer
• Sand or salt and paint
• Candle
• Ribbon
• Thread
• Key or whatever you want to put inside

1 Step: Drink the bottle you want to use ;)

2. Clean the bottle the best you can and get rid of all the sticky paper.

3. If you have sand, skip this step.
    Put some salt and paint in a bowl and mix it until you have the colour you like.

4. Print a picture!

5. Use the sealer to glue it to the bottle.

6. Print an old looking letter and burn the edges. But don't burn the house!

7. Put all the stuff you want inside! I rolled the letter and closed it with ribbon, I also put some fishnet and hanged a key inside. And I let a few candles to melt.

8. I added a ribbon to the top of the bottle too.

I hope you like it! Share your own version! More post soon!

Projects I'm currently doing

Hello! In this post I'm going to show you the projects I'm currently doing:

1. This is a cat food box that I cut in half , glue some pages of a dictionary and I paint it with watercolours to give it an old look.

2. This is a family portrait, I'm using acrylic paint and a piece of wood.

3. I'm decorating a shelf to be "more like me" and not so boring... I'm using acrylic paint as always.

               more updates soon!!

Teddy Bear painting

Hello! Today I wanted to share with you my water colour Teddy Bear painting.
I know it's not a painting that you could hang on a museum... but I try...

The idea was to represent a two faced society, where everything "strange" or different is not necessary evil and maybe you have to beware of the common people.

Well, I hope you like it! And share your own paintings, tips, techniques... in the comments below
