Playtime with Paint Skins in my Art Journal

Hello Everyone! I had a little play in my gelli-print journal this morning.


I first added a couple of extra paint layers with Slate and Turquoise Fresco Acrylic, then added some scraps of painty paper and book page, a decorated teabag, and a few marks with Posca paint pens. I also added some paint skins that I peeled off my brayer handle whilst cleaning it (you can see one on the right, in the photo below), then finished with some messy journalling.



Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

  7. I know how very late I am visiting, but I'm trying to catch up today, even though I still have chills and a morbid cough. I've wanted to try those paint skins, but never have. You did a marvelous job. I admit it's very, very colorful. So glad you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey.

  9. Fabulous page, Alison! I never thought of using paint skins. In fact I never heard the term - lol.

    I've worked so hard to improve my handwriting and do faux calligraphy that now I find it impossible to do messy journaling that's just for design and venting, but not meant to be read. I love this page!

    Hugs, Eileen

  13. Wonderful page! I love all the details that you created with the paints, papers and doodles and your messy journalling around the teabag looks like frilly petals of a flower - perfect 😁. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your week! J 😊 x
