I grabbed the first thing that looked like it might work that was sitting near my worktable. It's a rubbing plate for kids that I got at a yard sale.The painted paper that I cut up to use was painted by my four-year-old granddaughter Madelyn yesterday. I like to use her artwork in my journal every chance I get.
I rubbed over the plate directly into my journal since the paper is thin. I used a gold crayon.
I used acrylic paint over the rubbing.I liked the blue paint over the gold better than the red. The marker is one of a set that my granddaughter Madelyn picked for her treat at the Everything's a Dollar store. It has roller rubber stamps at one end. She likes crafty things.
The collage bits on the finished page all came from the newspaper that Madelyn and I were painting on. I seem to be adding chunky bits to my journal lately. I'm sure it will make it harder to work on the remaining pages.
Oh, lucky you! I've still got one week of school left.
ReplyDeleteLove this new page and how you incorporated your granddaughter's artwork into it!
Dawn - terrific page! Love that you included that painting by your granddaughter. I also enjoyed seeing that you fearlessly did your first rubbing right in your journal and tried two different paint-overs. Thanks for sharing with the team - and enjoy your summer!!
ReplyDeleteGreat journal page ! A real celebration ! That rubbing plate from the yard sale was a very nice find for this crusade. Nice job, and happy vacation !
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Kim
nice page - lots of colors and patterns, I need to try this too soon! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it when the Street Team artists show how they used the most recent Crusade in a project. It's so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your excellent ode to summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking everyone. I love to use Madelyn's artwork in my journal. I have a sample of her very first mark making and a photo of her using the crayons.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I always try stuff in my journal. For me that's a big part of what a journal is. I sometimes get some ugly pages, but that just goes with the territory.
Don't you just love the kiddy supplies? I spend more money on Art supplies intended for children than the good stuff ... well aside from quality colored pencils. I like how you did the work directly in your journal rather than just add it in. Outstanding results!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. And congrats on school break!
ReplyDeleteDawn - Have a wonderful summer! I love your resists. I have a couple I am working with right now but not liking the way they are coming out - hence, I am blog surfing to see other people's for inspiration. - Nicki
ReplyDeleteYour presentation of Crusade #21 is great! Thanks for sharing! I'm amazed at all the different things to use for rubbings! I'm also pleased to see how many of us are doing art with out grand-kids!
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer and have a great hair day! Becci
Just wanted to ask if you'd tell me how you got your Blogger back ground ? Becci
