The title pretty much sums up the purpose of my art journal. I am finding much satisfaction in being able to play with products and techniques without worrying about 'spoiling' anything. With the pressure off I am free to just play and see what happens. The following page I have been working on over the past few days.
I started off with a wash of Pthalo Turquoise and Green Gold. Once this was dry I used my new Mini Chicken Wire template from The Crafters Workshop and coarse textured gel from Reeves to add some dimension to the page. I then let black india ink run and drip down the page before splattering droplets of ink across the page. With a sea sponge I added black paint and iridescent medium. It was then left like that for a couple of days.
Coming back to it today and the courier has been - he delivered my order of PanPastels. I bought a starter set 'Extra Dark Shades' - there is pretty much a little bit of everything on here (gotta try everything LOL!!!). The page was sealed with Mod Podge, the text added plus some pieces I accidentally tore when working on another project. The paper is Pink Paislee "London Market" - keep a watch for the other project which I will post once I have it all together.
The two butterflies with stamped using Black Stazon and then I went over it with Kindy Glitz. Gotta love that Kindy Glitz. Not sure if I like the overall result but I love some of the techniques and medium used and I definitely loved playing.
Until next time ...
