Exploration of Field Journal #1

Getting close to my heart here, this was excellent therapy:








Supplies and notes:

  • The base of this layout is the Childcraft art journal, on a page coated with white Liquitex gesso.  Prior to this specific layout, I "cleaned" a stencil I made that had Color Burst on it on the spread.
  • The girl was drawn with Faber-Castell Pitt pens and a Sharpie.  She was shaded with multiple grey shades of Spectrum Noir markers.
  • Miscellaneous pre-cut birds in my stash from various field guides and bird books were pasted to the spread with matte Mod Podge and matte Collage Medium
  • Various tapes used, including Dina Wakley Mixed Media Tape, Arc Crafts wood tape, and generic gold chevron tape
  • Faber-Castell Pitt pens and Sharpie for all other writing
  • Generic coordinate stamp inked with Tim's Mixed Media pad in Hickory Smoke stamped all over the page
  • The image of the nun is from Lunagirl, glued into the spine.  A Fiskars bird punched from Tim's metallic kraft-core
  • The library card was also glued into the center of the book with Mod Podge
  • The feathers are from a chukar.  A family friend is a hunter and they passed these on to me in the interest of using all parts of what they shoot.  I love using these feathers that a less conscientious family would toss away.
I will share this at the following challenges:

  3. Let's see, we got a face, some birds, some scribbled words and a nun? In my head none of these make a perfect match, I'd never dare, not even think of, going down this road, but that's why I love this so much!! Plenty artsy, unique, interesting and oddly beautiful! Love it!
