Passport to Art Day 1

Welcome to my month of Passport to Art blog posts.  Each day through July I will be featuring my response to the Passport to Art challenge blog.  The blog has 31 days of prompts, quotes and technique challenges at the end of which I should have an altered book.

I chose an old atlas for this project and prpeapred the book ready.  You can find out what I did here and here.

So let's set out.

This is inside the cover of my book and I have chosen to leave it until the end to do something with it.  It depends what I choose to do with the cover.

On the next page I put a piece of masking tape across the page.  I plan to do that somewhere on every page so that the atlas shows through.

I put gesso over the top of the page.I printed out all the quotes and verses.

I used scrapbooking cardstock and card.I decide to use Distress Inks over the gesso.  It allows more of the page to show through and I feel more in control of where the colour is going.  Then I splashed it with water.

I used tissue tape and bits of my scrapbooking stash to create my page.

And here it is in closeup.

Thanks for stopping by.   See you tomorrow.
