I fancied a therapeutic play so decided to do some journalling. I love Kate Crane's work, and this is similar to her style.
I randomly added colour, to what was a slightly textured heavy weight Kraft paper, but use whatever you like. I used a brayer to spread and blend the acrylic paints *** keep cleaning your brayer in between with wet wipes ** I dragged a few vertical lines in black using an old credit style card. A couple of different sized bottle tops to start the flowers and leaves, and the end of a paint brush to make dots for the stems.
Black and white pens were used to add finer detail - loops, crosses, leaf veins, dots etc.
If ever you are stuck on what to journal, or don't know where to begin, quotes always come in handy. Use a typewriter style font, and when you have printed them out, draw a rough (uneven) line around the words - or in this case as it was a long quote, I grouped several words together. Cut out, again not being too wworried if they are perfectly straight.Cut out and add to your page.....Et Voila !!
