A Journal Mixed Media Journey

 

Wooossh! Plop! Here it is Friday already!! This week has disappeared faster than ice cream on a hot day, and around here that is pretty fast! 

 

I dug out my 9" x 12" journal for just a quick play.......and it became a weeks journey.....LOL  Maybe because there isn't much that I didn't use on it!! 

 

 

It all started with those packs of punched glitter circles, that were made from the scraps I had left over from making "Frozen" party decorations last year.

 

On UN-Gessoed page I started with Gelatoes.........

 

A baby wipe to blend it all together..........

 

A circle stencil, spritz and sprays of ink..........

 

Modeling paste came next, using the same stencil.........

Gluing the glitter circles and paper doilies............................

a closer look..............

 

 

 

 A little dangling with a Pitt Pen then acrylic paint for some flowers................................

A close up of the finished page........

Again with the Pitt Big Brush pens and blending as I went for a little more depth.  I added white dots to the flowers and it ended up imitating the glitter from the circles.....not a planned thing.....but I love it. 

 

I was at the discount fabric shop yesterday.......here are my new table cloth, table runner and a pig's head with a crown.   Don't see it??  Look a little closer....they are all there...LOL!  These are my next projects.  I have a 3 ft. x 5 ft. red nylon flag that I have to put out BBQ logo on, which happens to be a pig's head wearing a crown......that would be the pink and blue. 

 

I have a weakness for sunflowers, so while they were measuring and cutting the other fabric I spotted the sunflower patterned fabric that would be perfect for a table cloth, then some burlap was needed too.  I'm thinking a fall burlap runner for the table too, maybe with some fall leaves and things painted onto it.  What do ya think.....painted?....or left plain?  Might become a runner for the cabinet under the TV.......who knows!!

 

So with all of this in mind, I need to finish this post, clean off the kitchen bar, lay out that flag and get to making a pattern of a pig's head and crown.............then it will be off to stitch it on with the old Singer.

 

Hope you have a creative weekend.
