Just thought I'd share what I've been working on....this is my canvas art journal and these pages were inspired by the challenge prompt from Theme Thursday of "Garden". I started by spraying Adirondack colorwash (sail boat blue, lettuce and meadow) over a Prima mask. Then I whitewashed it a bit with watered down gesso - it kind of blended and muted the colors. I added some rolled fabric flowers I'd made, with ribbon stems and French book text leaves. My quote is written with india ink and a dip pen - my Pitt pens wouldn't write over the fabric as the ends just became coated. There are some white Signo gel pen dots to embellish the flowers and swirls of the text, but they're hard to see in the photo. Overall, I had a lot of fun experimenting with different media and liked the outcome! Hope you found some time to just play and get messy this weekend, too :-)
