I completed this page yesterday I used gesso and acrylics put on with credit card for my background - I added texture by scraping into the paint with the end of my brush, I added some stencilling and some cup marks then added my image which I had cut out of paper - I added details to the image and shadowed her with charcoal before adding the wings which I had cut from the page of an old French book that Shairon kindly sent me. I added my words using Tim Holt spone stamps and Stazon. I highlighted the words with a Posca pen. I am adding this page to the "Take a Word" challenge which, this week, has the word "Blue"

I always admire the techniques you use for making journal pages and read them with a lot of interest.
ReplyDeleteIt differs much from what I make (digital only) but it's every time a feast for my eyes to see these pages !!
Great Job !!!

You have created amazing journal pages and this is no exception, I feel you really are feeling 'blue' because of the words and after reading of your husband's illness. My thoughts are with you, take care!
