Journey through art page 1
Hello...Today I will begin a journey through art, altered book project. I found an old art book in a charity shop and I decided to alter it into a new book of my own. I will remove the pages and alter them one at a time. The images I use will be from the book only, together with mixed media materials.
Todays frount page is created with gesso , acrylics,wax pastels sand paper, and a black ink pad.

backgrounds
Just created these backgounds with a few scraps ,some inks and gesso. I was inspired by some of the backgound papers they sell at crafty individuals site! below is how I did it
first, stick on scraps of paper all over the atc
next, when the glue is dry , use sand paper lightly and scrub away some of the pattern and around the edges, then add some brown ink and another colour or two
next add a couple of stamped images in black, with one or two, press really lightly so only part of the image comes out

Lastly, choose a simple stamp and apply some gesso with your finger to the stamp surface and stamp once over atc wipe stamp immediately with a baby wipe and get iot completely clean. white acrylic paint will also work Have fun!!!
