Congratulations to our Challenge winners for the month of May! Both winners will be receiving a Dina Wakley Media Stencil and a Dina Wakley Media Stamp!

Facebook Winner: Kim FAucher

Instagram Winner: @dianemurphy8287

June, June, June! A big thanks to those of you who posted art. Seeing your work is a highlight of our month for us. Remember that you can follow a hashtag on Instagram. If you follow #showusyourmedia, you will see all the great art that your fellow artists are making.

Create a piece of art about your strength and how you overcome life’s trials. What has tried to bury you? How have you dug yourself out of it? How did you grow?

To create this page, I used a drawing/painting that I actually did last year. It came from a page spread I had torn apart. I routinely cannibalize my journals. I tear them apart, form them into something new. I’m never overly attached to anything I make, but it’s really the process that matters to me and not the outcome. I did like this face painting, though, so I had saved it. I think it has a lot of raw power and emotion, and it was perfect for this month’s challenge.

I had a tag that I had printed with my acrylic paints, the gel plates, and Scribble sticks. I journaled on that and I tucked it behind the drawing on the page.

Supplies used:
