More Halloween Fun in my Journal

IT'S FRIGHTENING!

Hi everyone Danie here, today I pulled out my journal to play once more. I love getting messy and it's the process more than the end result that I love. So with Halloween in mind once more I started thinking dark and covered my journal pages with a layer of black paint.

I had some clean up sheets from the last time I used some stencils on my desk so decided to put these to good use and while my black paint was still wet, tore these stenciled sheets into strips and stuck them down. My glue and my paint mixed together and glazed these pieces as I smoothed out any air bubbles from the sticking down process.

Next I took some white paint and a stencil and added some more detail, before brayering over the wet white paint to added further interest and pattern to the background.

I choose to randomly brayer purple and orange paint across the page for my next layer.

And to finish the background some more stenciling with Green Paint was in order.

I let all of this dry.

I was hoping to use some of the wonderful Halloween Images from DIY Design Studio to add to my page however my printer didn't want to play nice with enlarging my chosen images so I decided to find a photo of a silhouette of a witch flying on her broom and used this as inspiration to draw on one side of the journal spread.

On the other side I wrote a fun quote I found online.

Glad you stopped by, have a spooky week!

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.
