I’m on roll right now, every since I bought myself a brayer!

Brayer (copyright Hanna Andersson)Have you ever visited Tammy’s blog Daisy Yellow? It’s about Art Journaling and if you’re into that stuff you’ll not leave in a haste from her blog. It’s one of my favorites to visit. Tammy is a very generous person. I’ve been discussing my latest reading adventures with her lately.

Tammy also does the most vivid and fun journal pages, digs up journal inspiration on flickr and inspires me lots. She writes great tutorials on her blog Daisy Yellow. She gives great advice on creating fun and interesting backgrounds with her brayer, so I’ve got to blame her for buying one. I went to Kreatima in Stockholm and bought myself a brayer (roller) and some other art candy. It’s one of those rubber ones, meant for block printing. But I’m just going to roll with it…

If you want to have some fun with a brayer, you should absolutely visit her tutorials:
Psycledelic batik cardstock, Bubbled Brayer Backgrounds and Plaid background! Have fun, you can tell I did.

My own psychedelic batik cardstock. Excess stripes from making a journal with watercolor papers. Perfect as “cardstock” to roll all over.
