This is for Polly's fun mixed media challenge to use fibres. I know I have a stash of gorgeous coloured fibres and ribbons.....somewhere! I did scrounge a few strips of spidery white fibre in my flowers stash, so yay...I can join in.
This is a photo copy of a line drawing sketch page in the Happy Hour Art Journal 'Whimsical Girls" A4 sized book by Jane Davenport. I printed onto copy paper, then coloured with Prismacolour pencils, Zest it pencil blend and highlighted with Copics.
I was thrilled to bits to read on the second page of the book that permission is granted to photocopy content for the personal use of the retail purchaser. How cool is that!
I know that SCS has a "be nice" policy, so I won't tell you what I really feel about some of the restrictive "Angel Policies" that several stamp companies have. Sometimes I feel like we need permission to sneeze and stamp at the same time!
After fussy cutting the girls, I searched through my art journal for a suitable background. This pink double page was made using gesso, then various pink acrylic paints and squirted with pink Dylusions ink and spritzed with water. I applied everything to the right hand page and quickly closed the book, applied pressure, then peeled the two pages apart.
You can see where the pages got stuck together near the spine, it tore a bit, but it's no biggie, it just adds texture. I added a washi tape border, some text and dotty stamps. This journal is just for the fun of it and I'm having lots of fun.
Thank you for looking and I hope you have a happy, inky weekend.
