Hello everyone and welcome to my blog and my latest project for
Here is my very first art journal page!

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

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.

A young architect who wanted to be a painter met an Australian school teacher with a penchant for collecting things.

the gypsies today…
With a focus on preserving the inspiration for the brands and the product line, the 7gypsies development team has designed a number of vintage inspired collections that have a look of the past but are relevant to the creative market today. We have converted a considerable amount of products to production in the USA, while continuing to source world-wide to find the most exciting products, designs and technologies. We are excited to release our most exciting collection Architextures™ which is going to take the 7gypsies brand in many wonderful new directions.
7gypsies give the winner of the challenge one of their "Junk Packs" - a collection of vintage papers, handmade papers, fabric, tags and more with a writing and lettering theme. No two are alike. AND as an there is a chance to win a additional prize - if you both submit an entry for the Berry71Bleu Challenge & the current Canvas Corp Brands Challenge you are eligable to win a second prize.
