The Blank Page and How to Face It!
January 31 Challenge & Prompt
Art Challenge: Under Paper
Journal Prompt: What Lies Beneath?
What is underpaper? I didn’t know what it was a week ago either!
But Lorraine Bell explained beautifully: “it’s the scrap paper you put UNDER your art as you work on it. It catches the splatters and over sprays, it’s what you wipe your fingers and your paintbrush on.”
Inspired by Sandi Keene's process shared on her blog post, I used my round and oval Fiskars squeeze punches to punch out flower petal shapes. Easy. I used a glue stick to adhere the petals to my journal page. I really love knowing that the flowers of my garden lie beneath the cold, winter ground, so the flower image was important to me for this prompt.
This was my first time using underpaper in my journal, and I loved it!
Thank you for visiting my blog!
I hope you have a wonderful week!
