Garden Journal page

I was playing with layering paper napkins, and added a cool 'oldie' crayon box.

A Little Birdie told me


I had started this page a year ago, playing with gesso, acrylic and watercolor backgrounds.
I then drew a woman's face, glued down parts of a garden napkin, and finished it up.
Sometimes I don't finish a page for ages, as I love to make backgrounds...and have lots in my books, just waiting for the perfect image or whatever it calls for.

The Light Fantastic

I was playing yesterday with my tissues and serviettes, and this page emerged! Aren't serviettes grand to play with? just glue and tissue...how freeing is that?!? I used about six different serviettes (parts of them).
The image (wine label) on the left page is a transfer using clear mactac.

FARM MUSIC



This quiltie was made with the starting block of a piece of fabric I was using for wiping/cleaning my paint brushes. Then I started stenciling on the top and bottom of it with stencil paint. Next I spread wall compound on areas of the fabric, squiggle-combed it, and when dry I put down a variety of Golden paints. I rewet with water, then put more colours down. The rooster is a paper serviette (1 ply). The doors and windows are game tiles that I pounced alcohol inks onto. Then lace, trims, and jewelry finding. Size 11 x 11 inches.

SWEET ECSTASY

I really love working with beeswax. Here is another canvas using a dinner napkin. I have added foil, and a piece of sea glass with melted angelina fibres. I found that beeswax does not photograph very well. The actual piece is more vibrant than the photo.
