I was looking through my journal yesterday and noticed that the pages were all very controlled so today I thought I'd go into free fall and see what happened. I started off spraying some of Dyan Reavley's ink sprays onto a page then closing the book to make a butterfly print, just look what happened!
Next I cut out some figures from a magazine and used them to draw round onto black paper to create a couple of silhouettes, and before sticking them down splodged some gesso straight onto the page behind one of the figures. When it was dry I stuck the silhouettes in place and splodged more gesso through sequin waste and using the lids off the pots etc. then came the hard part, I very quickly scribbled the leaves and flowers and wrote the peom. A little gel pen to highlight and my 'free' page was finished.
What do you reckon? Does it pass muster?
Now stop sniggering you lot, it's not that bad!

Love it Michelle! I would never have thought to do what you did to make the silhouettes. Brilliant! xx
No sniggering from me, it is stunning, fabulous ideas and I do love the background.

No sniggering from me either - it's fabulous - I love those beautiful colours and the silhouettes, the sentiment is lovely too. Keep up the good work.
