Passport to Art Day 27

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's theme was about disappointment with inspiration coming from the John Masefield poem 'The Seekers'.  The technique challenge was to use wax resist.

The next page is folded up.

I decided to fold the corner down.

I covered the page with gesso and then drew patterns with a white wax crayon.  I used Dylusions inks poured into a palette and a very wet brush.

I echoed the pattern with a stencil and Distress Ink.

I stuck on the piece of page map and the verse.  I did my journaling on the piece that will be folded up.

I stuck the folded corner down and put the verse over the top.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today is all about Forgiveness and Freedom.   The challenge is to use Dyan Reaveley's bleachout technique.

Here are the next few pages.

I have enough pages left to use the folded page as a pocket.

I covered the page in gesso.

I sprayed ink over it.

I  used two stencils one on top of the other and sprayed water through it.

I inked the tag.

And sprayed water through the star stencil.

With this result.

You can see where the the white shows through where I sprayed through the stencils.  I added a strip of map page, the quote and the verse.

It looked a bit plain so I added the stamped hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Passport to Art Day 25

Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt.  Today's prompt asks 'Who are you?'   And the challenge is to use a vaseline resist.

Here's today's page.  The page at the front is folded down with a full page behind it.

I used the vaseline through the stencil onto a piece of 12x12" manila card. Although in this photo it looks more like Kraft card!

I sprayed inks over it but really wasn't very successful.  Perhaps I didn't put enough vaseline.

I used Kaz's method on the tag but managed to smudge that!

I cut the paper into pieces to match the page.

I stuck the piece on the left to the folded page.

I stuck the larger piece to the large page and then stuck the folded piece to the page to make a pocket.

I stuck a piece of map page on and the quote and verse.  I stamped some diamonds to echo the vaseline stencil. I also added some modelling paste through the original stencil.  I added the butterfly stickers.

Thanks for stopping by.
