Journals

DLP Week 1.

I joined the Documented Life Project. The Journal. It started at the beginning of the year and we're on week 5 already with another prompt being posted on Saturday. So me being me has only just finished week 1. I tend to overthink things and get nothing done. But i just had to make a start and put pen, paint, spray, crayon to paper and get on with it. It's not too bad for the 1st page but i smudged lots of it by taking off the wording and glueing it back down so it's not how i envisioned it.

Art Challenge: Book Paper
Journal Prompt: Be Your Own Goal Keeper

And this is how i interpreted it. 

---

I started of by gluing down some book paper into my Dylusions journal.

 

Then i painted over it with acrylic paints, stencilled thru some sequin waste with different shades of orange & Yellow & some Gesso. And then i sprayed with some Gold shimmer mist i bought from The Range. UK.

  

I added some strips of washi tape and stamped some images. 

 

Finally, i cut out some words from the Local College brochure. (Nothing goes in the bin anymore, unless it's my Journal fodder bin) I typed out a few of my goals for this year, glued them down, drew round them roughly with coloured crayon & Voila! The finished piece. I'm not sure if it's quite finished yet but i may come back to it one day and add something else. Or i may not.
