I said I would never do it again but after so many people have asked me about how I make my journaling pages I have decided to start up a blog up again.
If you followed me before on Crazy Daisy Designs you will see I posted my first attempt at a Halloween Journal page using Octopode Images. I then got the bug nipping me to do more.
I asked around and found there was an Artist who specialized in this type of work her name is Dyan Reaveley.
She has her own range of art materials called Dylusions (part of RANGER, if quality is an issue, it doesn't get any better!) Her teaching Studio is in Harrogate about a hour away from me.
It seemed too good to be true!
I first went with my Mum and her friend who are what I would call 'proper' artists. Altho Mum does a bit of everything art and craft, like me... the difference being I like getting messy and she hates it.
For Mum and her friend spraying ink wasn't their thing..
....I was on a HIGH. I had found my art fix! I felt I had found something I can do and I was so happy.
I called this blog 'Dylusional' after Ms Dyan Reaveley . After my glimpse of what I would be doing, I signed up to her classes. I go once a month (and the odd workshop taken by other tutors there who are also Very talented and all taught by Dyan in the beginning but have found their own style)
In this Blog I will show you what I make there and also what I do out of class. (most of which can be seen on my Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter all under Lollipopdaisy or Daisylou if you would like to have a look)
For those who aren't into social networking I have decided until after Christmas my posts will be mainly photo based of the work that I have been doing so far...a full years worth.
I infact did actually LOL as I keep my inks in a Halloween sweeties tub and needed a new one...Voila! Halloween so I have 3 new ones. :)
Ok,, seem as it was Halloween last night I will show what I made in my 'Dylusions' Full sized journal yesterday.... Yes it is as good as the hype. I have bought 5 others from other companies only to find the quality atrocious in comparison. I am not paid to say any of this ...It is all my own view point.
With calling this Blog 'Dylusional' I use mainly Dylusions products. I have found others which are advised for us to use from Dyan herself. Some I use others I don't. I will add a product list at the bottom of each post.
Ok here's the work.....
ps...Thanks to Dy for telling me (and my OH haha!) I AM AN ARTIST! and for changing my whole world from card making and being bored to something which is a complete different ballpark..and I'm loving the challenge!
Hope you are going to enjoy joining me in my rollercoaster of an artistic life.
Thank You for reading and please comment, as I appreciate the feedback.
