Strip Ease


click to see lArge

I enjoyed last month crusade so much, I decided to give it ago this month to. Above is my page.
First i followed the "instructions" on the site. I took a few patterned papers and paper from an old newspaper. I randomly ripped strips from the papers and glued +these down with gel medium.Next i stamped all over it using my large diamond checked stamp.
Then not quite sure how to continue I left it be for a week and worked on other pages.When i came back to it, all I did was randomly layed white gesso onto the page and then I drew a face with biro(using a magazine image as a giude to where her features should go.)I then gave her a tribal feather headpiece and then covered the excess gesso with orange paint. Lastly I cut the word adventuerer and leader of the pack from a magazine and glued it down.

  5. It really is amazing to see how we all come to different results with the same technique. I had no time to let it percolate but I had fun none the less.

  9. Good work! Isn't it amazing what develops when you give time for the pages "to stew"!! I often go back to mine a week later, and end up with a better idea than the original! xoSusan
