More Pages from my Small Art Journal...

4/26/2015

Painting with mixed-media in my small Dylusions art journal continues to bring me joy! I love the freedom of using these pages like underpaper while painting in my large art journal – to wipe off paint brushes, my fingers, stencils, rubber stamps – so I am not wasting any materials that remain on my tools. It's great fun to create these pages simultaneously to making my Documented Life Project spreads and reminds me of the way I enjoy working on several paintings simultaneously...while layers dry on one, I work on the other!

The pages I'm sharing today incorporate StencilGirl stencils designed by Mary Beth Shaw and Seth Apter (have I mentioned lately how much I am looking forward to painting with them Saturday!):

Below are details:

Like the pages above, the spread below layers Gelli prints, acrylics, collage, writing, paint pens, hand-carved and store bought rubber stamps:

Below are details where you can see that unique and lovely surface texture that can only be achieved with Gelli plates:

Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Have a great week!
