I was out of town last week so I am a little behind in my challenges. I combined the SOC and my Journal 52 (Technology was the theme).
I used acrylic paint and Silks for this page. I'm not sure I love the Silks because they ran when I used matte medium on top of them. The sun burst was made with a Tim Holtz stencil. The dots were made with a rubber stamp I found in my drawer. My art drawers are always fun because they are like a treasure chest. I forget I have something so when I find it, I feel like I've gotten something new.
I've heard a lot of pros and cons about the internet. I would just like to say that I've made many new friends in the last three years. This page represents where the members of one group of friends live. We share art and our lives with each other through the internet. We also trade mail art. I've received a lot of international mail in the last three years. I feel like I have 20 plus pen pals. These friends have taught me a lot and have helped me gain confidence in my artwork. I love the ladies of Mixed Media Madness. This page is for you.

ReplyDeleteI agree about the internet, as I have found lots of "virtual" and "actual friends from my blog. This is a stunning piece, because I really like what you did. And thanks for the comment on Silks. It helps to know, because often times people are reviewing a product and don't tell you the whole story.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why the Silks ran. I would have thought that acrylics wouldn't. I used the heat tool
Deleteon them. I don't use a lot of shiny paint because it makes my pages stick together.
I forgot to mention that one of my "actual" friends is also a friend of yours ("T").
ReplyDeleteHey, are you the person T visited in Texas and made cool polymer clay things with a few
Deleteyears ago???
