It has been weeks since I played - properly - in my journal. I've done some mopping up of ink (as in fact these started out) but nothing more.
So as a treat after I finally finished a tag for a DT piece (check back on Wednesday!) which I found a real struggle, I allowed myself some playtime!
This is the left hand page and uses stamps from the Wendy Vecchi set Accents for Art, I love them. Way underneath the layers of smooshed about sprays (Dylusions) is the background stamp from that set, and which I just inked to try out the Peacock Feathers DI. I'd added some white paint (Fresco) and tried to get some drippage down from the top but it wasn't hugely successful - I think because the paint is translucent (doh!!)
Today I went in with gesso and smudged out the background and then overstamped the other images. It's all a bit of a mess but I was just playing!!
The right hand page started a few days ago, with mopping up some of my newer Dylusions sprays, red, blue and one of the yellows, and then today, again smudged them around with gesso to blur and blend. Used Dina Wakley stamps on this page. Thought the page needed some white, so added some splatterings of white paint (fresco again) by flicking the paintbrush.
Thought it needed some more white so added the solid white flower (Hero Arts) and the white fresco paint.
Neither page is beautiful but I prefer this one!
