JOURNAL PAGE

Strange Things

Today I finished this page, and somehow it's my favorite!!

I really like how it turned out.

This time I made some photo's to let you see in a few steps, how I make a journal page.I work on aquarelic paper, and a week ago I painted all the pages of my journal. This is what I started with, I took some images from a magazine (like 20 magazines haha). I took a painted page on my journal and the rest had to go on in my head.

For this project I took a page in my journal, but it was not really the color what I had in mind, so.......I changed it haha. Also I had some fight with the orange...it had to leave too haha.I had in mind to do something with the sky and some buildings. So I took some distress ink from tim holtz, and I started to recolor the background. I looked for a image with a building and put it on the page. When I was doing that I really liked to make some wings, to make the character really strange. I took a piece of paper, and I painted some wings with gesso, I like the texture it gave my wings.

After that I glued everything on the journal page, the wings not totally because I like to have it a flying effect, some kind of reality.

I had a quote in my head, just by making the page, and it has a meaning of my personal life. So I used some markers, a little bit red paint, and I really love this page.

this is how it turned out!
