Inspired By...

Morning All! Today's page in my gelli-print journal was inspired by another YouTube video I watched, where the artist began by gluing down some teabag papers. Then 'The Flow' took over, and my page took a totally different direction to hers!


I added some torn tea-dyed book page strips and scraps, some hand-cut circles for the flower heads, then the doodling began with my paint pens.  You can just see the doodles on the flower heads, that I decided were too much, and painted over with Bougainvillea Fresco acrylic. The page needed some boldness!


Happy Friday!

  3. Lovely happy page Alison - love that colour and all the fabulous doodling and great background.
    Thanks so much for all the fabulous pages you linked for this theme at AJJ this month :)
    Happy Friday and keep cool - feels like it might be hotter than yesterday and less breezy.
    Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

  4. Your page is lovely Alison! I love how a piece starts taking on it's own path as we create. It's such fun to see where it ends up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  5. It was completely bold, and now you have inspired me to drink a cup of tea so I have at least ONE tea bag to work with in my art. A simply breathtaking beauty that is moving. So glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.

  6. The best thing about art is how you can start with a technique another artist is showing and then end up in a totally different place that makes it all your own. This is a fun page Alison. I love the pink. Have a great weekend. Hugs-Erika
