Hi again,
I got up at 4.30 this morning, earlier than usual because of ALL that excitement of Venus' Transit. I managed to create a journal page in less than 2 hours' time. I saw Picasso's quote that hung above my studio's door (made this sign for Frilly & Funkie challenge awhile back). I thought I might have that journaled.
The completed journal page :
I started by sticking many washi tapes and decorative tissue papers on blank pages. Then I filled in the spot I missed with torn kite paper (it feels like handmade rice paper, thin but rough). Washed the pages with gesso and watered-down aqua acrylic paint. After that, dabbed thick aqua paint over punchinella at random.
So that's it. I have just one more blank page to completely fill up my 'Happy Soul' art journal. Yay!. I thought I'd never be discipline enough but I almost made it. Can't wait to start a new journal. So addictive.
Hugs,
Shahrul
That's a cool texture and layers! I see the semi circle on the left like a sun with the dripping inks resembling a solar flares...hehe and in Life; you need to have dream and hope to go on. Good work!
ReplyDeleteYou know ... both of us have got that 'transit of Venus' fever I think, subconsciously. LOL. Thanks!.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I've been making dripping artsy mess in my journal lately :). Thanks so much.
DeleteI feel like I've just bathed in a colorful pool of bliss! This is fantastic. I love the handwriting and the quote. The drips and bits and doodles and running ink look fantastic!! What great inspiration and kudos for only having one page left to do. :)
