In Japan, it is hip to say "My boom is....(and then insert what you're into at the moment)". SO, my boom is masking tapes. These all come from Japan and I have just recently started playing with them. Look for MT tapes...that is the brand. They are slightly see through and I will be doing a video on using them soon. Certainly NOT something you need but if these look like your cup of tea, you might want to search some out.
of course you can find colored masking tapes around here too... I don't collect too much but I seem to be obsessed with tapes lately.
and lastly forgot to mention (below) that I love these derwent coloursoft colored pencils. I can definitely live without them in my journaling but I do love to play with them many times too. They also do a good job of shading (like the pan pastels) but you can't always use fine line pens or gel pens over the top of them.

Do you have a mailing list for all of your workshops and retreats? I came to Artfest a couple of years ago but would love to be up to date about what's coming up...
ReplyDeleteMy boom is your awesome videos!! I don't think you realize how helpful they are! I live on the East Coast and will probably never be able to make it to Artfest (at least not in the forseeable future.) Those videos are a real blessing- thank you!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, can you show us how to make the larger size journal too?
Susan
my daughter is SO very close to having a brand new website up for me. You will be able to sign up for a newsletter and many other useful things. Yes, it's taken us a while to get with the program but soon...very soon.
ReplyDeleteIt may be taking you a while, but when you get there you do it with a bang!
ReplyDeleteWhat great tape collection you have! I would be going wild with them...lovin' the boom too!
ReplyDeleteHi Teesha, I have been watching your Youtub-clips about how you build your AJ pages. I've got so inspired so I had to try a few "teeschapages" in my ArtJournal. I just wanna say THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!!! and if you want you can see my pages on my blog. Love Jenny
ReplyDeletei love the tape collection, not sure what i'd do with it but it looks like fun-melody in fl

Thanks so much for all you share! I found you on one of Rice's videos and I'm amazed at the beautiful journal pages you create!
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a couple yesterday :)
I bow to the master! YOU are the best!

Thanks again for inspiring me!

I agree, Derwent's are the bomb. Had no idea of all the Masking Tapes -how cool are those?! You always scout the best "My Booms!"
ReplyDeleteYummy! Those tapes look so good and fun! I have got to find them to play with in my journal. I love the Derwent Colorsoft's but yes, they are hard to draw over aren't they. I just wanted to say how inspired you have made me from your videos. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful secrets! You do a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteWow, fantastic work. I subscribed. Never would have found this if not for AEDM, which I'm doing. I'd like to know if you are planning another journaling workshop. Thanks!

oh the tapes are doodlicious!
ReplyDeleteMy boom has always been tape!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I started finding packing tape with art on them I was knocked over! Then came colored duct tape...I have a giant bedspread cover full of my tape collection...painter's blue tape, duct tape, scotch .... and then I found these Japanese tapes. I couldn't wait to decide which to order first - CAUSE I WANTED THEM ALL!! :-P
Wow! That masking tape collection is NICE! Where do you get them?
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Lovely! Do you know this store?: http://www.thetintedmint.com/Washi_Tapes_s/3.htm
