The Original Documented Life Project - week 22

Playtime for me again! 

 I am doing the Original Documented life project, the May theme was : 
Touchy Feely (Texture)
 Art challenge for May 30: Textured Paper
The Journal Prompt I'm So Not Feeling It!

So, this is another art journal page of 18 x 25 centimeters! Yes, I am still in the run to finish all the weeks - so much to learn! 




The base I started with is embossed wallpaper...  and is great for using in mixed-media projects either to paint or use inks on, or to stamp with. It holds paint beautifully! 
(Thanks Lorainne for this reminder !) 
I just inked it. 



To fit the bigger art journal page (it was too small, I tore pieces off the sides, adhered it to the sides, leaving some torn edges...which makes for extra interest. 


The red is Bistre, the green a custom made pearl spray.
I LOVE the pooling of the color within the sections, and not soaping into the wall paper either.

I am HAPPY with this page!


I am entering this in the challenge on 
1. Penny Black challenge- warm autumn colors
2. A vintage journey - journaling with Tim
3. Country view challenges - add some texture

  6. Love that you used the old wallpaper - and what a great resist it gives to the inky colours. A beautiful, delicate page again. Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey.
