Grungy Art Journal Page - Own Your Dreams

 



Hello, everyone!! I hope you all had a great holiday. Can you believe that the new year is just around the corner? I know after this crazy year, we are probably all very excited at the prospect of new beginnings, but also maybe wary at the same time. I hope that wherever you are, you're doing well, and feeling hopeful!

 


I will tell you, I had a really hard time with this project. I had no idea what to do. I finally landed on my default- a journal page. I used some of the collage papers I made in my last project, along with some rust dyed fabric and other bits I have hanging around. 

The first thing I did was stamp with some acrylic ink, then on top of that I glued down a layer of rust dyed fabric. I have been really loving the texture the fabric brings, and sometimes the rust really pops when you glue it down. 
I painted with some more acrylic ink and coffee, did some more paint stamping, and then started my collage. I knew I wanted to use the flying heart images, so I really built my collage focal point around that. 





I hope you enjoy the video and the process!!
