Journal 52 week 20
"Create a page inspired by a book you read. It can be the last book you read or a favorite book."
This is this week's prompt for Journal 52, and being a person that has read many, many, many, and a couple more, books I could not pick a "favorite" book. Nor could I pick a specific one that has really"inspired" me. I did just finish "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan, but, well, it wasn't where my MOJO wanted to go....LOL
So this is where my MOJO took me, a little trip down memory lane. After gluing torn book pages down I sprits and sprayed some inks. ( much too bright) then a quick, thin wash of Gesso brought the colors to a more workable stage. A few tugs and rubs got the edges to curl and tear. I drew the bottom book boarder then washed the books with thinned down Gelato colors and just wrote the titles on the books. I created the "Once Upon A Time" book with card stock and stickers, then added a swirly! WA-LA! a finished page that I like. Oh yes, I do also follow the tv series of "Once Upon A Time" too......LOL
Thanks for stopping by, let me know you were here.
