Time Spent in the Art Journal

I finished up some journal pages in the last couple days.




















This was a greeting card from my cousin. I keep most things like that and eventually they end up in my journals.




















I started with leftover paint on a page and kept building old papers and images.















Here I took one of my faces and added a spray ink background page.  I use her dress to journal on.  She was drawn on a page from an old book,





















This page I've done over a few time.  I had the background done but I didn't like it so I added gelatos to the page.  Then I took a stencil I cut years ago and used a foam makeup sponge and black stamping ink to get the color down.




















In this face I combined to images to make a third.  This is the first time I tried that and I liked the process.  The drawing really does become unique that way.

  3. Kate, I love these journal pages...especially the first one. It has a medieval look. I, too, cut a Buddha stencil a few years ago. I haven't used it in a while so maybe I'll get it out again.

    1. Janet,

      I think we cut the same buddha stencil. I have a bigger one and a small one. There are so many cuts in this one that its hard to use spray ink with but a sponge and a stamp pad worked great.
