Art Journal ... Today was definitely an experimental, no holes barred day! Thanks to Lenna, I tried out a spread in my journal using water color crayons. Well, there you go folks. Thanks to Jewels, I tried repurposing a card I got for Mother's Day, but found the glue I was using wouldn't stick on the crayon surface. This was not a waste , as it might seem. So, new tactic. Found a different glue and added a sunflower I had in my junk pile. Embellished with some permanent markers. Thanks to Lenna 's last post, I did some journaling around the flower with a saying I love. I wanted to see how stamps worked on the surface. Seemed to be ok. I think the bird page needs more work. What an all consuming activity. I cut some rubarb and put it in the freezer, and hoed my vegetable garden this morning. So, I could play awhile. :^)))
Wonderful B! What Glue did you end up using? I am big on YES glue and also Tacky Glue seem to work well for me...always good to "leverage" from others! I am going to try the watercolour pencils for my Mail Art - my spray with a Matte finish to "fix" and protect it (something I do when I use chalk)
ReplyDeleteHey Jewels, Thanks. Scotch Purple Glue stick worked, but Scotch wrinkle-free didn't. ???? Maybe the surface wasn't dry enough. More experimenting necessary.
ReplyDeletesounds good to me (doing chores so you can play!). I like what you have done very much Beth and I am glad I could be of some inspiration!
