Hello Folks! Today's art journal page was inspired by Tracy Evan's use of bead gel on a beautiful bag, in this post. I love bead gel, and it's been a while since I used it.
This page was created in my gelliprint journal, and it's on the other half of yesterday's page, and started off with the same design. It's amazing how the two pages are so different. I added lots of layers, including the stencilled Liquitex bead gel, scrapings of DecoArt Crackle Paste, PaperArtsy Infusions, bubblewrap printing with acrylic paint, and some of the lovely Golden Iridescent Bronze acrylic.
I shall of course be linking my page to Gill's 'Inspired By' challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Happy Saturday!

I've never heard of bead gel, but the results are simply stunning. You used a lot more than the bead gel, though. It is one of those pages where your eye sees something new each time you look at it. So glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.
