Hi everyone - I hope you are all having a great week! I have a few Book of Days pages to share with you from last week...
First - here's my Monday spread. Effy is following the Year In The Life of an Art Journal prompts once a month; and this prompt was to use your favorite quote on a page. I decided to play along too, and was inspired by Effy to try doodling with paint...
Wednesday's Soulistry prompt was "the spirituality of work." I combined that with my first lesson in Willowing's Fabulous Faces class, which was to draw a graphite portrait...
and lastly, my MDS (multi-day spread) for the week...
These were all done in my Dylusions journal. Last time I posted about this journal, I mentioned that I was having trouble getting things to blend on the paper - like watercolor markers and crayons. I got a question from Sandra L - she asked if I use gesso on the pages, which was a really good point. I had not used gesso on the spread where I was having trouble. Gesso has helps immensely. It creates a whole new surface to work on, which eliminates the blending problem. Thanks for your question Sandra!
I should say that the Dylusions journal works fabulously for what it was meant for - Dylusions sprays!
Anyhoo, that's all for today. Thanks so much for visiting my friends!
