Bring on the bling

Tammy is hosting an art journal challenge at Daisy Yellow:

create the worst, gaudiest, tackiest art journal page in the universe.

Here's mine:

Time to sparkle!

This was so much fun!!!!

I stumbled upon two pages in an old sketchbook that I had used to test some cheap shimmery paint.

As we used to say in high school, it was FUGLY.

What better place to start?

I wish you could see this in person, this puppy shines.

I plowed through my stash for things I own but don't really use because they no longer reflect my style.

We've got glitter glue, regular glitter, shiny embossed butterflies, silvery metal wings, silver star confetti, blue sparkly fun foam, smiley face ribbon, silver star garland, scrapbooking embellishments, bronze lumiere paint, glimmer mist.

 I am laughing myself silly in the studio.

Just when I think I'm done I come with another idea of what to add.

I crack myself up over and over again.

It was completely liberating to set out with the intention of making something ugly.  No worrying about the blank page, no critic in the head telling me it sucks.

Pure silliness.

I'm still giggling.  I'm downright giddy.

 

You need to try this.

Link up your entry to Daisy Yellow by Saturday the 23rd.

and get ready to have a blast.
