I was so taken by one particular piece that I saw at the Lace exhibition in Birmingham the other day that I decided to use some of my pics for a journal page. A few days ago I bought myself a new Moleskine journal.....a nice red one.......and I decided on a ruled one just to give another dimension to the pages. The idea is to leave some of the lines showing or to actually use them.....not too sure I achieved that on this page! Oh well!
First step was to use up the left over watery brown paint you can see sitting on the tile in the picture above.....ooops made the pages curl.....heat gun sorted that out!
Before it was completely dry I rubbed over some Pan Pastels in orange and brown....................
........then stamped some lace around the edges and used a credit card dipped in black paint to echo the lines in the photos......................
The finished thing..............my natural inclination was to add the pics at angles and overlapping each other but I resisted and put them down on the page straight as contrast to all the crossing lines
If you are interested, the artist who created this installation in the exhibition is
Oh yes.....I used my Poloroid Pogo mini printer for the pics.
