A Gratitude Quote

 Hello All.

Day 14 of Gratitude Junk Journal had a quote prompt. 

'When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out, and the tide of love rushes in.' - Kristin Armstrong.


I collaged some teabag papers and scraps of book text, then gessoed over them. The marks are some I painted onto tissue, then adhered them to my page with matt medium. I love how the tissue becomes invisible. I've been making lots of this tissue collage, using up black paint from my palette. I always seem to squeeze out more than I need!


I painted the large heart, wrote out the quote, added black pen outlines and scribble writing around the heart.

Then I painted and added drips and splatters with diluted coffee. I also added some blue paint and gold acrylic ink splashes.


I'm linking my page to Leah's Art Every Day Month challenge Day 18.

Thanks for visiting,

Alison

  2. Love how you used teabags on your page. Coffee I have used before. I think tea comes in many colors so lots to try out. But you have to drink some too. :) Your page gave me some idea o use later on :)

  5. What a joy to see this page up close. Your use of both tea bags and coffee make it rich looking, but so do the gold splatters. I love the asemic writing around the heart, too. This is great for Day 18 of AEDM, dear.
