This week's theme is transfers. I've love me some transfers. they are one ofthe best tools in an art journaler's tool box. They are fast, fun, and get a look nothing else replicates. So here you go!

I thought I'd start a new series of blog posts. I'm going to call them "Techniques Today." the idea is that I'll find a series of YouTube videos about one art journaling subject, and load them up here. From here, you can try out the techniques or not. Let me know what you think, tag any tweets or facebook posts showing images with #techniquestoday These posts will regularly go up on Wednesday of each week.

So. I had planned on a Technique Tuesday. I was gonna do a little piece on one of the many things I’ve got on my list and well, I got in a car accident on the way to work. Some moron cut me off and then stopped short and I rear ended her.  My little car is less happy than it was a week ago when it got out of the shop after being rear ended. Yes, I’ve had my car back for less than a week.

All in all, I’ve been driving 128 five days a week for the last 5 years and never been in an accident until the 2 I’ve had in the last month. I guess in a way I’ve been lucky. Two minor accidents in 5 years is really nothing.

As the cop said, “Any accident you can walk away from, well, you’re lucky.”

So yeah, that’s why I don’t have a Technique Tuesday for today.

Oh and to get the cracked paint effect, drive a Nissan Versa into a Honda Civic at approximately 15mph on a damp highway while slamming on your breaks and leaving a streak of black rubber and creating a cloud of smoke.

Also, look for a job closer to home.
