Art Journal

I created this 20 page 5x7 Art Journal with water colored card stock pages. Some form of embellishment was added to 10 of the pages and the other 10 were left with just the watercolor background. Small envelopes were added between some of the pages to hide keep sakes like tickets, notes, etc. Tags were also added for altering. The fibers on the right hand side of the page are attached to the tags in the book. The cover is hand painted muslin that was ironed onto a bonding material and then ironed onto cardboard. Book was then bound with Owire.

Red Rosin Background Paper

I used Red Rosin Paper for the base of this sheet of fused scraps. I glued the plain and textured scraps on with a mix of Elmer' glue and water and then I added a layer of white torn tissue paper and glued that down and brushed more glue on the top of it. When that was dry, I rubbed on light splotches of gold and bronze metallic paints all over. When that was dry I brushed it with and antiquing medium and quickly rubbed it off just to leave accents in the textured places. Next I stamped the paper with various stamps and added dots with the end of two different size dowels. I stenciled through sequin waste at the very end.
