Another Bad Ass Art Journal page - Sisters

Hello crafty friends.

I'm popping in before the next line of thunderstorms hit, and knock out my

cable service again.

I'm very slowly working on my Bad Ass Art Journal classes.

I'm on week 6 now. Check it:

 I used Magenta Nuance powder dyes to water color my background. For the next layer I 

used white ink and a few stencils for a subtle pattern. (I'm not sure if it was that 

particular ink pad, or stenciling onto the first layer, but that ink took

3 DAYS to finally dry! Even hitting it many times with

my heat gun! Holy crow!)

You can see some of the patterns in the next couple of pics:

My people bodies were made using spray inks.

 (Don't do what I did and use water reactive sprays for this, as they are, well,

reactivated with any liquid. Or if you lean your hand on them whilst painting the heads.

Ask me how I know)

I painted the head and shoulders. In the class, these were left as is, but

I felt compelled to add hair to mine. Personal choice)

Stamped some grungy thatched marks, and went over them with the edge of an old credit card

and black paint where the stamp didn't touch the paper. Also stamped and fussy cut the flower.

Some scribbling and doodling, and it was all finished!

I did spray this (carefully) outside with a sealer, in the hopes

that it won't smear, if someone were to touch it. LOL!

Thanks for visiting!
