The Blank Page and How to Face It!
January 31
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.

You can make ANYTHING look pretty!!
Under Paper? i had visions of laying toilet tissue on the lip to the public rest rooms... glad you explained what they meant.. and I agree with Ginny, you can make anything pretty..
Totally agree...anything you make comes out looking great! Thanks for sharing Ann!
You have good cursive, a lost art.
I think that is all very interesting. I could never have thought of all that. Have a great Saturday.
How inventive! I think it works so well!
You have a crafty brain and can see stuff that would pass me right by. That's awesome.
Have a fabulous day. My best to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
I don't know how you think of the things you do but once again it turned out fabulous!
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.
