Art Calendar Challenge 2011 - February

The Art Calendar Challenge is hosted by Kate at the Kathryn Wheel. You make a calendar page each month and every day you write something on it to reflect that day.

I have the base of my February page ready! My theme is Imbolc, the sabbat that is celebrated on February 2nd in some of the pagan beliefs. The page still looks barren now. I wanted to do a lamb theme since that is one of the aspects of Imbolc and lambs are cute! However it seems that I didn't have much lambs laying around. I couldn't print some as well since the printer is acting weird and my BF haven't found the time to fix it yet. So I will present this page to you barren, and it will come alive as the month passes by. This too fits the theme of Imbolc.

This time I did the background with gouage. I didn't use a brush but a sponge. I mixed this shade of green using basic green, with yellow and white. The letters are stamped. It are Sophie Caps stamps by the Paper Studio and the numbers are from the same Sophie font but the lower case set.

Here is my finished January page :) It looks much more colorful then the new page. This is also because I used colored ink there, but my book didn't like that so much and I also need the book for my school assignments. I do not mind that the book is being used, but this did quite some damage to the underlying pages. Besides, it is fun to see the effect from different kind of paints. It helps me with expanding my knowledge on how different paints react :)
