One Eyed Monsters

Playing with Carla some more.  I am not too sure about this process, but I have to learn to just get funky and play... perhaps more and more practice at this will work, lol. I like that Carla says to use what ever you have to make art... a philosophy I have held for many years.  Nice that someone in the "main stream" of the mixed media mania flow agrees with me!

I did this one in my "anything" journal that I keep by my evening TV viewing chair. I love this journal, it's size, the manila heavy weight paper, the fact I found it in a 99 cent bin in a scratch and dent store.  I colored this guy with Walnut Oil Pencils, one of my YSM finds.

These came after the first one, on the blue card stock (card stock is recommended by Carla) I also found at the YSM.  The top one I filled in his body with a Koor I Noor Magic colored pencil (bought in an art store from the sale items in Astoria) and Copic markers from Dick Blick.

The second one I used the Copics except I think his hat is the Koor I Noor pencil.

I love finding art supplies at the YSM.  I have some unusual mediums, which I would never buy otherwise.  I also like to buy from the sale/mark down items in stores, but I don't do that often because I don't live by any stores.  Going to an art store is like turning a kid loose in a candy store for me!  I loved the little one I found in Astoria called Dots and Doodles. I mostly just bought sale items and I still spent way too much $ there, lol.
