journal spread

By
collaborating Altered Pages & Robin's Nest... 
these products complimented each other wonderfully for this art journal spread.  
Enjoy the process.
Combining torn book pages and paper stock from The Robin's Nest-Bunny-cardstock to create the foundation for this page.
Creating layers of texture by combining a verity of mediums:
gesso 
acrylic paints
Dylusions Ink - www.alteredpages.com
stencils
rub-on's - Viva-Rub-on
collage image - www.alteredpages.com
Settling down with the final touches to complete this delightful journal spread by adding this beautiful rub-on  and this playful collage element Not-So-Feminine.

    I like the Technic April used on the background! I am going to try it and hope I don't end up with a pile of paper scraps!

 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.
