ArtSpace

Hereโs the journey that this art page for a journal took, in the creation of it.
Iโm new to this and Iโm not working with usual art journaling/journaling supplies! I urgently need to go do some shopping ๐ ๐ soon.
Meanwhile, I did one โ๐ฝ with help from artists in a Facebook group Iโve joined lately. Thanks ๐ ๐๐ฝ to them I was inspired to create the art page.
This is done on brown paper bag with acrylics, tissue paper, old newspaper ๐ฐ ๐, cloth scrap and garlic ๐ง skin.
The printing you see is done โ by cutting a garlic bulb in half, and using black acrylic paint. The lacy effect is from a left over sticky tape strip from paper lace.
This art page is nowย an insert inย ย A Boy’s Junk Journal.
Now, you be the judge as to if I need to go on that shopping trip or not ๐
If not, I think ๐ค I must expand my sights and conquer more techniques or processes that are off the cuff. May be create an entirely new medium in the creative and joyful business of art journaling ๐.
