GECKO GALZ DESIGN TEAM REVEAL - ART JOURNAL PAGE - 12th May

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog and my latest project for 

GECKO GALZ

Here is my very first art journal page!

 

I bought a plain kraft card covered sketch book and some water colour paper. (From poundland)

The idea for this page is to get lots of texture.

 HERES HOW

Cut down the paper to fit the sketch book page

Cover the water colour paper in gesso

Crumple up the sheet of tissue (mine was the same size as the page)

Apply to the wet gesso randomly, apply more gesso

Add strips of lace down one side, cover with gesso

Using a stencil and more gesso or texture paste, apply all over 

Add cheesecloth and more gesso

Add cotton threads randomly over page, apply more gesso

Now add micro beads into the mix

Choose three different colour sprays, or paints watered down

Apply randomly by flicking, spraying or dabbing

Allow to dry

Now start to decorate with flowers, sisal, butterflies and words.

You will need;

Tissue paper, cotton thread, cheesecloth, white lace, sisal, micro beads, stencil, texture paste, flowers, brown chalk ink, stamens and pearl string.
