Behind The Scenes Process
Clay
I really enjoy working with clay, sadly I haven’t had a good play with it for some time so these images are of much older moments but I hope to find my way back to working with it and creating sculptures small and large. There is something really earthy and grounding about this medium, it…

Following On With Bones
Body and bones, tonight it is the skull of an animal. Exploring tone with the For Enjoyment CIC group. Much gratitude, very helpful putting together the learning from the last few workshops into this one and applying shading. Exploring the building blocks of the body is certainly a fascinating journey, I can see why so…

Cyanotype
Ok so I introduced the use of Cyanotype in my last journal blog, for those whom are not familiar Cyanotype is a photography printing process created by mixing two chemicals (ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide) using specialised paper. It can be used more widely than the special, artistic way of developing photo negatives. When…

The physical Body Part 1
So stage one exploring who we are as humans, who I am starts with awareness of the physical body. I have been exploring this in a number of ways but let’s start by sculpture and some Cyanotype. I have been pretty particular in exploring this body of mine, I’m coming at it with the perspective…

Who Are We?
So over the next while I’m going to explore creative ways of exploring this question more deeply and widely. I will be doing this in amongst my usual sharing of learning new art skills and playing around with some known bug less explored ones. I have a specific set of journal prompts for the opportunity…

Watercolour Play
So I decided to experiment more with watercolour on thicker Derwent paper after a wonderful gift from a friend. As said previously this hasn’t been my forte or skilled approach however it is fast growing on me especially in a mixed media way. Here are just a couple of recent examples.

Drawing Stories
Example Illustration Of A Story From Ghana- Africa This evening a group of us had the lovely privilege of listening to stories told by the wonderful Gary Cordingley. We were to illustrate as he spoke, again another method out with my comfort zone but was a pleasure to experience. Not my best works of art…

Current Acrylic Painting In The Making
Just sharing a painting that is forming. Not quite creative journaling or portfolio learning but seemed a nice place to share some of the behind the scenes process of other artwork ☺️ looking forward to how this may look in the end. Fingers crossed it works out okay.

Continuing The Free Mind Doodling
Just a way to record natural mind process, entirely metaphoric like dreaming and free from precognition. Simple momentary arising and not easily decoded. A lovely way to monitor moments of mind stories as they pass like clouds. The collection will be pulled together to create a bigger picture in this Covid moment.

Hopes And Reality
I began these lockdowns with the full intention of having a free doodle hour per day. Just to map free flowing mind midst the chaos. However best laid plans and all. I instead have been working hard on an exhibition that you are invited to participate in just to offer some time out from what…

A Little More Alcohol Ink, Gold Leaf Mixed Media And Bister Ink
A brief play just experimenting with no goal in mind. It started wonderful somehow I had a dripping iris and eye, it was somehow neat (comfort zone) then it turned a little grunge. Was not comfortable in the slightest thought I was going to discard of it as a complete write off. I pushed through…

Bister Ink Play
Having no idea what this ink was or what it was used for I’ve just been experimenting with different applications. Got some inspiration from a piece of art I found on Pinterest. I’m fascinated by the shadow, the other side of what we do not see or catch moments of reflections in. Not sure why…

Abstract Play
I have adapted this blog to focus more on intuitive play in the form of art journaling, my more explorative philosophical search around meaning, being human and my main artwork is now on my other website. Should you wish to follow me there you will find me at stacieamelia.com. Here it is very much play…

What Is It That Exists?
©️ User 326726150 · Poem - Inadvertent Incognita ©️ This poem was inspired by an interpersonal exchange this week. Inadvertent Incognita When you think, feel and know that you lived, there’s a story of what happened but nothing to prove that it did. Nothing of substance than can be touched to say for sure ‘yes’,…
