I finally had time to putter in the bedroodio this weekend, but was torn between doing a project from my Artsy Ornaments class, and working in my little Christmas journal. Then I thought, "Why not compromise?"
So did both at once! All those security envelopes my sister-in-law saved up for me are still coming in mighty handy -- this time as a snowy background. The little girl and bird were cut out of cardboard and glued on, to give the page more dimension.
Did I mention how much I love those chalky Christmas gift bags I found the other day?
Finally got to use some of my iridescent acrylic ink, too!
This was a background technique I wanted to play with. Not sure where it will go from here.
Last but not least, a work-in-progress that I was kind of excited about...
until the black gesso I used for the chalky pages seeped over the top and made a great big ol' mess!
Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're the bug, right?
