the post-dated-post

today flew by. i didn't make much progress at all and i forgot to post, so forgive the post-dated-post.

added more stamped stars and circles, this time in permaink. i didn't let my images done in water soluble ink really dry before gesso-ing so i lost most of them. these wont be going anywhere.

i decided, go big or go home, or whatever.

layer of blue acrylic.

now THAT, is what i was looking for.

let the blue dry... some. sprayed it with a water bottle and wiped some away.

my art journaling is really about exploration right now. exploration of my insides, exploration of techniques, exploration of cause and effect.

so, though i liked what was going on i slapped some white paint down on top of it, topped with some stenciling in red.

yeah, i dunno. this came out of left field.

wipe down = successfully grungified.

i really feel like this spread has gone full on fourth of july. *sigh* what did i really expect in using red, white, and blue...

i'm really going to have to decide if this spread is done and usable for something independence day related or if i am going to have to keep going with it and take it somewhere else.

so, i reached a stopping point on it but i wasn't done.

 look, purple acrylics in random places.

purple makes me very happy.

and it was time to add something else to this one...

watercolor crayons ftw!

i like it.

something about it just makes me happy.

oh, and... gesso.

yep. done.
