I love Friday afternoons! It's the time to relax and have fun. I opened my journal and looked for inspiration on the LostLuggage blog. Julie just finished her art journal tutorial, and I decided to follow her directions and see what I come up with. Here is the page with random papers glued on. I knew from the start that I wanted the cute babies to peek through layers of paint.
Next came paint layers. Why I chose magenta and burnt sienna - I don't know . Doesn't it look like a mess?
Dry brushed white paint toned it down a little...
Walnut ink gave it warmth... I use stencils often, but never used spray paint with them. What a difference! I clean, crisp look over the messy paint. I love it! I have added some gold webbing spray too. And instead of scalloped border - a border of cut triangles.
This is the moment when Norah's sisters (a very simplified version) decided to visit. I printed little faces from my other pages and used a little circle punch.
Some pencil scribblings, borrowed words and I call it finished.
Julie gave me this award, for which I'm thankful and I return it right back to her. Pick any blog from my right side - they are all excellent. I'll add another favorite, super-excellent blog that I don't have on my side bar (and I really should put it there) - The Sunny Raw Kitchen. If you ever think of raw vegan food as boring carrots and celery sticks - this blog will change your opinion. Pure healthy food art.Have a happy weekend!
