page 22. Preparation...

I don't believe I am a terribly well prepared person, but when I have a job to do I make lists...these range from what to pack for a weekend away,what to blog over the week, what to buy in the supermarket...to xmas lists,jobs to do in the house.....all manner of lists. I don't always use the lists, that is not the point...the making of the list is what counts. I find it calming and theraputic.

sorry this is late, I had umpteen things to do last week and then we were away for the weekend.

so firstly I coloured the background, both front and back with a little watercolour paint and a spritz of Dylusions ink.


Next I squished some pollyfilla.(.wall filler..spackle..) thru an alphabet stencil and dried it with a heat gun.


Then I swiped over the filler with some more dylusions ink, and once that was dry I rollered over it with white acrylic.

Both back and front are the same, here you can see the detail of the wall filler, and how much texture it adds.


To the front I added some old  written lists, that i retrieved from the bin.



















Then added a cut up journalling tag, on which I wrote the title.


To the back I added another journalling tag, on which I wrote my method of listmaking,plus a snippet of fabric.
