So I decided to start a brand new journal just for me, and this is the first page.
The inspiration came from watching Tee's show.. those of us in the chat had such a giggle, and by the end a challenge was set to paint something that included a random sock...
I knew straight away what I wanted to do..
First I worked on the background.. this was done with acrylics, blended and then dimensional paint squiggled on top. once this dried I painted the blue square.
Next I added the green hill..
Then I added my house..
I used paint skins, a piece of sequin waste, music paper, a watch face, and a doorway from an old boardgame..
I then pushed some wall filler through a stencil, and added some ink drips..
When the wall filler was dry, I stamped some text over it and then coloured it with ink..
I drew my unicorn onto separate paper and glued him onto the page.
Then I coloured him with neocolors, before adding the white frame. I wanted it to look like an old polaroid photo. Of course I added the obligatory sock on the end of his horn..
