ART JOURNAL: TEXTURED LAYERS
Hey, everybody! I really enjoyed sitting down last night with one of my art journals. I brought my art bag inside, sat down, and realized I had forgotten my Tacky Glue. It ended up being a great challenge to just use masking tape as my adhesive. I referred to my g.r.e.a.t. formula to get something onto the pages.
I use the acronym G.R.E.A.T. -- a system I created for making layered journal pages.
G = ground floor
R = repeating pattern
E = ephemera
A = art
T = texture
There is always wiggle room with the steps, and it's perfectly okay to flip some steps or skip a step, or repeat some steps, but going through these five thought processes makes it really easy to create a GREAT journal page. It is an easy formula for getting out of a creative block!
Thank you so much for watching!! Thank you for your support! I appreciate all of you!
