Another entry in my near full, junk journal.

I was feeling the need for bold colour

& having looked through Pinterest,

I found Andrea Ockey Parr's video on

creating Washi tape & Paint paper.

This looked fun & if nothing came 

of a journal page, at least I would

have something pretty.

Having been watching the Willowing Arts

Creativity & wellness summit, I took

time out to just play. Having paint all over my fingers

was therapeutic & I took 

pleasure in the process. 

 

However, I chickened out!

I thought my colours were too bright

& brayered gesso over the top!!

Once I had cut up some of my paper

into a house & fence, I thought I would use

Dylusions Spray to give some oomph.

That also backfired.

So I brought out the big guns..

my oil pastels & posca paint pens in

black & white.

I am far happier with the results.

In view of all the sadness surrounding

the street & my 1st anniversary of being

made redundant,

I had great fun with this colour.

So much so that I decided I needed more brightness!

The next page I share will be the final piece

in this handmade junk journal.

The piece after will be in my brand new,

 coptic bound, hand made journal. 😀

 Page painted with black gesso.
