A JOURNAL PAGE

A journal page at last, I am always moaning that I never get time to journal due to demands put on me from various corners but this weekend I was determined and I actually completed 2 double page spreads. This one didn't start life like it is now, the colours were a horrible, garish blue and purple with quite a lot of texture, I gessoed over the top, closed the book while wet quickly opened it again, et voila a lot more texture this is the result which I love. I did intend to journal on this page but it was impossible because of the raised effect of the texture. All the borders and image are from Tumble Fish Studio.

  2. Love the effect that the gesso has given these pages. I've found a new trick to get texture, am going to try it tomorrow. I like the purple and orange together, and the sentiment is certainly true, lol. xx
