WELL I WANTED TO TAKE MY JOURNALS UP A NOTCH SO I AM PAINTING ON CANVAS AND THEN GLUING TO THE COVER...LOTS MORE FUN. THIS HAS LED ME TO

WANT TO DO MORE PAINTING, WHICH IS WHAT I REALLY LIKE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A CHEMIST..WILL SHOW YOU WHY.........
THIS WAS THE FIRST USING AIRBRUSH/MOLDING PASTE , PAINTS AND GELS.

I FOUND IT LOOKED TOO FAKE! NOTHING INSPIRING, BUT LOVED WORKING WITH

THE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS

THIS IS NOT A GOOD PICTURE..BUT THIS IS JUST AIRBRUSH/ACRYICS AND BEAD GEL.

DIDN'T LIKE WHEN I PUT SOME GLAZE OVER...SO BACK TO THE BOTTLES...
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. THIS WAS MY SCRAP PAPER. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH PATTI BRADY SINCE I AM FOLLOWING HER SUGGESTIONS FROM HER BOOK..AND SHE SAID TO "TRY OUT THE COLORS' BEFORE POURING ON YOUR BOARD. WOW. I WISH I COULD DUPLICATE THIS..BUT THATS IT..WITH THIS TECHNIQUE ITS NEVER THE SAME.
SO HERE IS MY FINAL. BUT OBVIOUSLY..NOT MY LAST. STILL LEARNING. I DONT' KNOW IF THE PICTURE SHOWS THE REAL BEAUTIFY OF THE COPPER ON THE RIGHT..OVER THE BEAD GEL...ITS BEAUTIFUL EFFECT...IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU WILL SEE THE ORANGE NEAR THE BOTTOM, WITH SOME WHITE AND BEIGE TO FILL IN...AND THE BLUE WHICH YOU CAN HARDLY MAKE OUT AT THE BOTTOM...I LET THAT THEY FLOW AND FLOW ITS OWN WAY...OVER THE BEAD GEL ITS BEAUTIFUL...

SO WHY DID I FEEL LIKE A CHEMIST? BECAUSE I WAS CONSTANTLY WATERING DOWN THE ACRYLICS...PICKING SOME AIRBRUSH COLOR..POURING..BACK TO THE ACRYLICS..NEEDED MORE WATER..LESS WATER..MORE GOLD..LESS GOLD. THE STUDIO TABLE LOOKED LIKE A CHEMIST WORKSHOP..CUPS, PAINTS, STICKS..

ANYWAY. HERE IT IS!
