I am teaching a whole weekend of workshops to a craft group in Wales at the beginning of April and on the Saturday I will be repeating my vintage tag book but on Sunday they would like a day of journaling, so I am preparing some things to take with me.
This is a page made on card and then stuck into my large Dyan Reaveley journal book.
I had fun using Dylusions sprays, Dyan’s masks …….
….. and stamps ……
I also used a large Pronty alphabet mask and picked out the letters to spell REBEL, painted them in with white paint and outlined them with black pen. Just the way I felt at the time I guess and I am a bit of a rebel at heart you know.
… oh and I added a Dina Wakely stamp for the focal image.
Well we've got more rain again today, the garden is saturated and boggy, I am so looking forward to some dry and sunny days. My dear friend Terry in California keeps teasing me by sending 'warm' hugs, which are lovely, but I need the sun to go with them lol.
It's my murder mystery party tomorrow, the one that couldn't go ahead on New Year's Eve because of illness. I am looking forward to hosting this as I have written it myself and have re-themed it for a Valentine party, so fingers crossed the murderer doesn't get recognised too early!!!
Hope you have a good weekend xx

ReplyDeletehugs Lynn
Such a beautiful page... no doubt they will love this in the spring. Hope your party is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA most fabulous blend of colours and textures.
ReplyDeleteThey are so fortunate to have you as their teacher.
I love the idea that you created this on card and will insert into your book. For someone who is still timid of art journalling this would be an approach I would find easier than the fear of spoiling a new journal.

Gorgeous pages, your students will love the Rebel teacher! I'll take your rain over the expected 18 inches of snow we have been promised, lol. Have fun with your Murder Mystery party! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteA stunning mixed media project. Love how you did the wording.
