Art Challenge:  Under Paper (paper on your work table that gets all inky while you work)
Journal Prompt:  What Lies Beneath?

 Under paper? Really? Before I got started I checked out some of the featured artists to see how they did this. I considered starting from scratch and creating an "under paper". Then I found a magazine page that I had used to paint something on so I just used that. It's not pretty but what the heck.

I started by scribbling around the edge of the page with a brush marker and then a different shade marker and a gel pen. I stamped the swirls all over the page, glued down a scrap of lace, then glued down my "under paper". I used a little bit of washi tape on the corners of the paper too. I glued down some buttons and the bit at the top with the journal prompt written on it. Then with a pencil I added a thought at the top and bottom in sloppy hand writing.

    I think that is all very interesting. I could never have thought of all that. Have a great Saturday.

    Well, this inspired one creative idea in my head, but some of these I don't "get"

    My "under paper" is usually covered in hot glue bumps and lumps! Might make for an interested art piece!

    I like your magazine under paper!

    Great page Ann, sometimes those under papers can be very lovely, sometimes not so much! Yours turned out great.
