My art journal page from yesterday evening's gathering. Inspired by the following quote:

"The bad news is you’re falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there’s no ground."

Lots of collage elements, including the little girl drawn by a little girl  :-). Acrylics, ink, stamps using an old carton cylinder. 

• Acrylics
• Gesso
• Stamps
• Black ink brush pen
• Markers
• Stamps
• Collage as the first under-layer

The trick is to keep layering. Make sure your support can handle the layers! (support is whatever it is your are painting and creating art on).

Here's what I used for this spread:

• Acrylics
• Stencil and texture paste
• Collage
• Stamps
• A metal spring I found in the street which I'm now using as a stamp

Earlier this year I decided not to buy any new journals, rather I would make my own. This journal is a recycled fashion / product journal - repurposed and I'm loving it.

If you've been following my posts on social media, you might recognize this art journal as the recycled fashion / product catalog. I ripped out pages to thin it out so that it could take all the additional thickness of collage and layering and paint. I made use of the images already there on some of the pages. You'll see them peeping through occasionally.

For this spread, I used acrylics and black ink brush pen, and yummy gellatos from Faber Castell!

This time I went for a thin layer of acrylics, letting the background peek through slightly. I added the face with a Uni Pin black pen and white corrector pen.
