Page 12 Deception...
first of all i glued my page to this piece of paper kitchen towel, it has previously been used to mop up ink and then left to dry. i wasn't sure i could use it for anything as it has a pretty definite ,dimpled, circle pattern going on in the actual paper....
anyway it is 2ply, so I pulled apart the 2 sheets, and used the side with most ink.
Before gluing, I sprayed the paper towel with some black webbing spray.
once it was dry i cut it out, and I was pleased that the dimple pattern wasn't really noticeable to the eye, but along with the webbing spray gave nice texture to the touch.
I used up some old stickers for my text, and then covered the whole thing with a good coat of matte medium...feels like plastic now. I also inked the edge with midnight blue stazon. I love the blue, I think even more than the black.
here is a close up of the texture on the front...
I wrote my journalling on the back, directly onto the page. then, as this is about deception i covered my journalling with torn strips of the paper towel.
A lie begets a lie etc, so the layering is apt. Also a deception is usually covered up with a 'tissue' (geddit) of lies, just enough to cover the deception, but fragile enough that the whole thing could come apart at any time...
Once completely covered, I stamped out the word and added more matte medium.
