Gratitude Junk Journal Day 11 - A Reason To Be Grateful

 Hello Everyone!

For Day 11 of the Gratitude Junk Journal course, our reason to be grateful prompt was to choose our favourite season. I chose Autumn, as I love all sorts of things about it, but especially the colours this time of year.


I first collaged some appropriate colours of gelliplate prints, added some black paint marks, and stamped with my hand carved leaf. I also added white paint pen splatters at this point. 

I drew the large leaf shapes, then painted around them with nickel azo gold acrylic. I added black pen outlines and white pen doodles and writing, then wrote my title.

I'm linking my page to Chris' All Kinds of Weather theme at Art Journal Journey, and Leah's Art Every Day Month challenge Day 16.

Thanks for dropping by,

Alison

  5. I also love autumn, Alison. Of course, I love spring, too, but autumn has its own set of lovely colors and beauty. You certainly got a lot of use out of your gelli plate and this is a real gem. Thanks for also sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Chris's theme.

  6. Hi Alison. I always enjoy looking at this technique done and I'm pleasantly surprised you got that kind of contrast variation with just quin gold! Amazing and a great tip to remember. Besides, it's such a happy color to play with, xoxo
