This
week I have been in the process of thinking about some decisions I need to
make. Weighing up the pros and cons and
gathering information to help me make the right decisions. Nothing major, but on my mind none the less
and this has inspired my journal page. I
have stepped away from the bright colours to a more pastel palette which I guess
signifies a more reflective mood than usual for me and followed imagery which
has rectangles, circles and arrows all looking for balance. There is no single
feature image as this is about decision process not decision results instead I
have used a quote I thought particularly relevant.
I cut
up pieces of old card and ephemera and used gel medium to attach to the page.
Next I
gave it a light coat of gesso and when that was dry ran the Gelatos around and
inside the blocks of card so there was colour everywhere but mostly on the
edges of the card pieces.
Next I got out my box of hand carved stamps
and selected ones which suited my mood and stamped them in the paints in
co-ordinating colours.
So as
not to lose the edges of the first layer of card pieces I went round them
lightly with a blue water colour pencil to add shadow.
Next came Chit Chat words which reflect the decision process and my stamp which I stamped
on to stamping card, cut out and stuck on with the gel medium.
