I've been in a bit of a creative non place at present, too many new things to play with I think... I am meant to be working on some altered playing cards for a swap, they're coming together very slowly and not really to my liking, and I am still thinking about scrapping some and starting again... anyhow, some of them involved black gesso and I poured too much out..
so I used some on my journal page and the Copper and White Fire Frescos - took to it today with a new Paris themed stencil and the Wanderlust stamp plate (stamped on Paperartsy tissue and coloured sparsely with the Frescos )
Scribbled a little round the tissue piece with some iridescent oil pastels I got in Glasgow last October
Thanks for looking.
That's a lovely page Helen.... I have just bought that stencil too so can't wait to play!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely page Helen.... I have just bought that stencil too so can't wait to play!
ReplyDeleteWell, this certainly worked Helen. You should pour too much paint out more often. Love it! Xx
ReplyDeleteLove it! The white fire fresco looks particularly good and stands out great against the black gesso. Like the WL stamp on tissue too xx
ReplyDeleteoh great page Helen..love the black gesso and the treasure gold looks fab on it!! I do love that image too xx
ReplyDeleteI know just where you are coming from Helene, sometimes I get overwhelmed by what to use next, but looks like a great journal page. Must get some black gesso.
ReplyDeleteTwo good ones on the trot albeit it a bit of a nail biter Thursday.

Holy cow, Helen. This is simply incredible. I've never used black gesso, but it certainly has a very dramatic feel to it. This is a lovely Parisian piece.
