Meow!? I don’t think you can have a Spooktacular Celebration without the traditional, familiar, black cat. Here, our favorite feline was apparently contemplating dinner when one of the vittles decided to speak up for itself! Perhaps our furry fiend will contemplate a nice bowl of kibble instead! Images were stamped and then watercolor was applied. Colored pencil and gel pen were added for color and emphasis. #microart #microartjournal #miniatureartjournal #miniartjournal #miniatureart #tinyjournalnation #allthingstiny #allthingsminiature #microartjournaling #tinyartjournal #travelersnotebook #inktober #spooktacular2019

Jalousie? Teensy spiders just hanging around… I’m so happy with how this came out! I wasn’t sure my idea would work. And it was still a bit mundane until I added the red dots to the spiders and the white dots next to their strings! This was created using the tangle Jalousie, which was drawn first with black, Pigma Micron pens. Then watercolor was applied to establish the basic color range. Colored pencil, smoothed out with Copic Blender added depth to the colors. The red dots were added with a red, Posca pen. White dots were created with a white, Pentel, Juice Up gel pen creating a highlight along one side of the spiders’ strings.

Zonked! Every so often, I get a wild idea to try something… and it ends up taking much longer, or being more complicated than I thought it would be. This layout is one of those. I probably should have drawn the Zonked larger. But I wanted the scale to be small so that the mummy and bats wouldn’t get totally lost in the design. However, I don’t think I’ll be drawing this tangle again for a while!

Whooo has the time? Everyone who wants to make art, no matter your experience or education should make a little time each day to “just do it!” A tiny art journal is perfect because you can fill it quickly and the smaller size is less intimidating. I wanted to create a layout with the feeling of the passage of time, and how we gain wisdom as we get older. So I chose these particular stamps with that in mind.

Today’s Inktober Zentangle prompt was TunnelVizion. I think this tangle makes a wonderful, creepy-cute critter that could be found on the Halloween forest floor! Tangles drawn with purple, Sakura Pigma Micron pen. Watercolor was added to the background and each of the tangle elements. Colored pencil was used to give more dimension to the individual parts and a bit added to the background to intensify the green. #microart #microartjournal #miniatureartjournal #miniartjournal #miniatureart #tinyjournalnation #allthingstiny #allthingsminiature #microartjournaling #tinyartjournal #travelersnotebook #inktober #spooktacular2019

On the first day of Spooktacular2019, I incorporated the Inktober Zentangle prompt, which was Printemps in my tiny art journal layout. Here, I used them to make the brightly colored foliage in the trees. The tree trunks were stamped on the page, then the tangles were added. Watercolors were applied and the foreground was stamped. Additional watercolor was added to the background and foreground. Finally some colored pencil was used for shading, color and texture.

Yesterday, I showed you the cover of my tiny, Spooktacular2019, traveler's notebook . Today, I have the completed set for you. Above, you can see the set, closed, from the front and opening edge. Right now, the inserts are blank inside. Today I will be beginning the artwork. The paper is from Bee Paper Company. It is from the spiral-bound, Super Deluxe Mixed Media book. I love this paper because it’s not too thick to use in a small book, but it holds up well to wet and dry mediums. Each insert has four, folded pieces of this paper and a decorative cover. This creates sixteen individual pages for art, or seven, double-page spreads. If used for spreads, there is a remaining front page for a table of contents and a last page that can be used various ways.

It’s almost time for the Spooktacular Anniversary on Facebook's Micro Art Journaling Group ! In honor of the occasion, I am making a new journal cover and inserts to use during the month of October. The outside of the cover is a nice combination of fall colors with touch of sparkle. The paper I used for the cover was blank on the reverse side, so I used various stamps to add color and texture to compliment the theme.
