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
