Last night I was prepping pages while talking to my sister on the phone for an hour – just idly painting and spraying. I turned the book round so the gloss spray drips were running across the page, and love how the colours work together. Then I painted a cross on the opposite (denim) page; it’s a shape I use a lot as a starting point – followed by white gloss spray.
This morning I was showing Tony the way the gloss spray works over the paints (love it) and had a sudden realisation. I’ve turned the book the wrong way after spraying the drips. The cross is at the top right of the page and I *always* have it at the bottom left. I tried to create a page with it that way round but it just didn’t work for me. I turned the book round and completed the page, which I like, upside down in the book. Oops!
This is the Dina Wakley blue journal, acrylics & gloss sprays and Tim Holtz idea-ology quote chips. The chips are thick, great for assemblage, but I peel most of the back off so they sit flatter in my journal.
