Today’s page began with the cover of a travel book I had torn apart. It was a great weight but I didn’t think I’d ever use the image as is. I used an old credit card to scrape a bit of acrylic paint loosely over the page.
This left just enough image peeking through for some interesting background texture.
Next I added a bit of shorthand page and a bit of tissue paper that had a book theme.
The layers continued with a salvage edge of fabric, some ribbon and the image from a university library bookmark.
The page didn’t quite seem complete. I decided to add a dangle with a tag and some fibers on a bulb pin. Having just one eyelet seemed insufficient, so I used three.
Please hop on over to Art Journal Journey and check out my July theme of Fabric, lace and trims…oh my!
I love the texture of the brown ribbon/trim along the right side and also the ribbons hanging off the page. It’s amazing what a little texture can do when added to some collaged paper. Have a super Friday and start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
Hi again, Halle! I adore your latest amazing art journal page. I especially love the way you incorporated that piece of salvaged fabric (is it corduroy?) into your stunning collage. And that little dangle with the tag you added is a perfect touch to your incredible piece of art! Thanks so much!! Hugs, Sharon
This is AMAZING. You put a great deal into this entry. I especially love the shorthand that sits amid the fabric and fibers. This is a stunning entry for your theme at AJJ.
