More art and soul journal........

I recently finished this little canvas for a friend. Lots of fun creating the background with some of the techniques learned in my recent Misty Mawn classes. Also tried some crackle paint for the tree trunk... new to me and I now love the stuff! Once that heat gun hits it.........it all happens before your eyes. Day 7. of our Soul Journal had us writing (in very small writing) all over the two pages below. Writing down all of my little secrets and knowing that no-one was ever going to see them except me..... because!!!! We covered the whole of the pages with all different types of tapes we had around the house. The silver being duct tape, the blue and black some sort of automotive tape (all thanks to my dear hubby Paul... ransacked his shed). The other black tape with the numbers is a 7 Gypsies fabric tape and of course the old faithful masking tape.
Day 8. We then had to roughly sand the tape (I wish I had some of the silver tape that Sarah Whitmire used on her journal.... comes up a treat. Will definately have to get some of that for my art supplies, plus some black gesso. Visit her blog and see why !!!)
After the sanding we applied gesso, and rub back and then a colour wash or whatever you wanted to paint. I used a couple of metallic type paints for my wash. They dont show up too well here. The fabric tape wasnt overly successful when I tried sanding, so left it alone a bit before I totally wrecked it. I wonder what Sarah has in store for us next?????

Couldnt help myself !!!! Played around with the inchies page a little more. I actually wanted to remember why I had chosen each inchie. I feel a bit happier with my page now.
Our challenge for tomorrow is to pick a flower from our garden and press in our books !!!! Cant wait to see what Sarah has in store for us next.....

Thanks for visiting and sharing this challenge.
