Texture......... my favourite thing!
The challenge once again ..
going against the grain..
Trying something new..
Attempting to create something out of nothing..
Why not!
Be weird.. be different.. be you.
Focus has mainly been on silhouettes. Shapes out of cardstock. Reverse painting and cacography.
I had difficulty creating this challenge.
Sometimes getting out of your head is not an easy thing to accomplish!
Here's to a New Year.. with new and exciting beginnings!
'I am always doing
that
which I
cannot
do. In
order
that I may learn
how
to do it.'
-Pablo Picasso
Happy Hallows...
Awesome challenge again!

Mixed Media Journal Page
A start-to-finish of how I created a 2 page spread in my journal. Enjoy!
Using fluid mat medium (golden) to cover the two pages of my journal 
Adding the tissue paper and covering that with the gel mat medium 
dry thoroughly 
add colour using dylusions spray 
using nuvo mousse through a stencil 
allow to dry 
add dots in various colours with zig metallic pens 
create a border with charcoal pencil 
add a chipboard cycle 
finish off with a few inspirational words - framed with a white gel pen.
On my work table..
Soft pastels over hand-drawn leaves with grid-like patterns on journal page.

am learning this: we can be mended. We mend each other." -

This resonated with me today. Take care of you!
Just finished abstract pages in my Journal. Started with black
and worked with layers and added lighter colors. Opposite color
contrast within the figures.
Think it came out great. May just do this again!
