I finally finished my round robin journal page the other day. Like I said before, I LOVE doing journal pages. Why I don't do more...I have no idea. But I really need to. So here's the page after I washed it with some "wedding cake" white paint. Frankly, I could just leave it like that after using "wedding cake" white paint.........
But I decided to forge on. I cut some rice paper into strips and using gesso applied it on top of the pages. I love using rice paper. It gives abeuatiful translucity to the page......
I experimented with different looks. I did my old standby heart and then thought I might use this frame......
Aha.....I cut another heart out of some heavy muslin and sewed the edges. I then got all fancy shmancy and pulled out the Martha Steart glitter paint. I applied it on the muslin heart and the around the edges of the big heart........
My new obsession....Martha Stewart glitter paint. Expect to see it cropping up around the ol' chaos blog more frequently. So the theme for her journal was Masterpiece.....and her favorite masterpiece is The Birth of Venus.......
I obliged with some pictures from the painting. I also broke out the H2O that has been sitting on my desk with it's inspiring color of iridescent blue begging me to us it. Finally I opened it and painted the cloth portion of the picture. You can't really see it but it is this beautiful shade of blue green........
And how it all ended.....I hope she likes it!
Talk to you soon! Karin
