Hi Everyone!
I have an art journal page to share today for Rosie's Spring Challenge at Art Journal Journey. Today's theme for Birgit's Gelli Print Challenge was Crayon Resist, so I've used that technique on my page. The flowers, sun and birds were created with wax crayons, then I used a small round gelli plate and turquoise acrylic paint to colour the whole page. Then I scraped the paint away from the wax to reveal the wax colours. Cool isn't it?
Here are some more wax resist pieces...
For the pieces below, I made wax rubbings with stencils, before applying the paint.
If you're on Instagram, there are some amazing challenge examples to be seen, using the hashtag birgitkoopsengelprintingchallenge.
Happy Monday to you all,

ReplyDeletep.s. Now you've reminded me of Instagram, I've been meaning to say how wonderful Vietnam looks and the photo of all those lanterns looks so beautiful! Happy Travels to Beth! J x
This is a remarkable journal page and a clever way to show resist. I like the colors and the way you removed the paint to show the wax resist underneath. The other resists are quite good, too. These are all most impressive, but the spring inspired journal page is pure joy. So delighted you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I would have been by sooner, but I got hung up at Birgit's Instagram site.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, lovely colours and textures. Hugs, Valerie
