DLP week one and two

Many of you will know about the Documented Life Project but those who don't, can find information in my previous blog.

I have been lagging behind but have added some pages to my  journal

I decorated the cover - I first jessoed the cover in white and then played with my Gelatos. Once that was dry I used a stencil and baby wipes to remove some colour you can see where I got this technique from here.  It is by Helen  Chilton

I then got out my primary elements adding colours here and there. I then played with pens and stamped some sentiments.

I have now added the week one prompt - my front door 

I printed it off onto normal copy paper and then added it to my journal page which I had brayed using Ellen Vargo's  technique and fresco acrylic paints - see Ellen's work on the paper artsy blog here.

I smudged snowflake around the door to blend it in and added some circles.

For week two it was a selfy - I thought long and hard about what I wanted to add and decided to go for my eye. I added an eye to a document and manipulated it to make it grungy but then played again 

Until I had a softer look; one I thought I could blend in.

I again used my brayered and frescos 

Loved these colours and then came my eye 

I added some blue and ginger and continued to play until I got the final look

Bit of a long post today hope you didn't get bored. Thank you for looking.

Any comments would be lovely to read x
