Things with Wings - Journal 15#8

Thanks for all the nice comments on my blog, that I got on my first post on your fantastic ART JOURNAL BLOG, and it's some real fine examples all you bloggers have shown.

Here is my post for Things with Wings, completely traditional, but I was actually inspired by the stunning tutorial on OCC with Claudia's bird stamp.


The page were painted with Tim's distress paint, with a brayer and afterwards a little panpastel colors


here is my carved stamp printed on a card with archival ink and distressed edges


my little bird had to have a wife, so I used the same stamp on tissue paper which was inverted and glued onto another card


other stamps I have used are from Tim Holtz and HeroArt


the little poem is itself composed


Thank you for visited my blog and I wish you a good day
Hugs Susan

Gear it Up!

On this "gear it up" I should try something new. WAX, as I have only tried a few times. Acrylic color in two layers with water droplets, which I have seen in Andy Skinner's tutorial on You tube.
The cardboard was painted with gesso, then with acrylic colors, and when it was dry, I put wax on.
Photo and gear painted with color and wax
I think it was a bit difficult, but I am very happy with the result
