Oh - I wish you could feel this page!
I started with paint, then used a stencil and slathered Liquitex white opaque flakes on one side of the page.....
It dries translucent, so I worked on highlighting with paints and acrylic inks.
Another piece of the stencil was used with light molding paste, which dries white....popped with color thanks to Adirondack alcohol inks
The "pocket" started as piece of an envelope...
I "pushed" paint with a credit card (Sap Green Hue by Golden) - let dry - used more light molding paste - let dry - colored with adirondack inks.
Added some trims with the sewing machine (yes, that's from a friend's skirt) - sewed the sides and bottom onto my orignal page, glued a scrap on and wrote "observation" in Italian with my favorite opaque white pen (Gelly Roll by Sakura I think)...
A new home for my sweet notebook made by my sweet teacher, Kristi Steiner, as part of our "Adventures in Italy" package...
We toted our notebooks around for sketching and note taking in the streets of Orvieto...over cappucinos...or in Etruscan caves...I noticed I'd written down several vino brands from tastings we participated in.....
There she will rest for a bit and keep my company while I continue to work on Travel Journal pages....
Till I take her out for a sketching date in her newAmerican surroundings....
There will for sure be more notes on vino;)
I invite you to join me and link up with Paint Party Friday to share Paint!
