I Wonder...


All Alone

WIP - Chunky Book - Page 3

So I made page 3 today. I actually had some fun painting the sun and making it shine. I love gold! Especially Metallic Inca Gold FolkArt acrylic paint from Plaid. It just shines so wonderfully when it is dry! I added a little color and some gold to the text too. I really like the sloppy look!

WIP - Chunky Book -Spread 01

This is the first spread in the chunky book. The word courage is my chosen word for the year, and I just happened to have a piece of vellum with that word so I used it for the inside of the cover.
The Four Words (Create a Better World) is based on a prompt from the Art Journal Caravan. You can learn more about the Four Word Expression and the book by Patti Digh here: Patti Digh 37 Days.

I added a bit of gold paint to this. For some reason it shows odd on the photos. I didnt add much, yet in some places it looks like did and in other places it doesn't show at all. Also the book itself shows darker than it really is.

WIP - Chunky Book

The book is now totally covered in paint. It took a little to get to what I wanted. I first painted it in the 4 colors I had chosen: Canary Yellow, Caribbean, Leaf Green and Plum Kiss. But then I didnt like it much. So I lightly covered everything with the Caribbean color. Let some of the other colors show through along with a little of the ephemera. Then I added a little Bright Magenta, Baby Pink, Citrus Green and Sunflower Yellow to the edges. Wiped, added, wiped and added some more. When that was all dry I applied a watered down mix of Black, Bright Blue, and Bright Red (dark violet) to the edges using just my finger and a rag. I had not planned on spraying it with a fixative cause I really thought the paints would hold up, especially since I prepped with Gesso first. But the paint seems to continue to chip on the edges so I decided to just spray lightly with a fixative. I dont really mind the chipping so much, but thought I would try to stop it before it got seriously bad. So far so good. So the shiny parts on the book is the fixative.

WIP Cover - Chunky Book

This is the cover of the chunky book that I am making for myself. It is a Work-in-Progress (WIP), so stay tuned for more photos. I have added a lot of paint and then wiped with a moist rag. I rather like this look!

Chunky books

Work on a lot of Chunky books and thought I would share the first finished step here. I am making one for myself and the rest have been ear marked as gifts.
