Art Journaling is like Riding a Unicycle...FUN!!!

Welcome to Altered Pages and I hope you are enjoying a wonderfully creative day! Susan here bringing you another page in my Art Journal created using Altered Pages Digital Collage Sheets, a painted vintage book page, Glitz paper and punchinella used as a mask.

This quote is something I had come across some time ago from an altered book round robin I had worked on. I loved it so much I jotted it down and I have been waiting for the perfect project to use it...and my art journal is the perfect place.

I selected a lady on a unicycle from the AP-2028 Girls of the Circus Digital Collage Sheet. I cut up my painted vintage book page into a diamond shapes and glued them onto a background of Glitz patterned paper in a marquis pattern. Then I layered some torn scrap patterned paper at the top and edged all around with black acrylic paint through punchinella - using it as a masking stencil. I tinted the image using a water brush to apply ink from my brush markers. My quote is set off with a thin black cardstock border on some black tulle. I had a wonderful day working on this and I am so happy with how it turned out!

I invite you to play along too and post your projects at the Altered Pages Facebook page HERE and you can also join the NEW Altered Pages Artsociates Facebook Group HERE.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
