Janie's page in Annabelle Reid's journal.
I have given a brief overview of my procedures under each picture. Annabelle, I hope you enjoy my art, cheers. Your journal is called Just You and the piece of art I've created is a collage which I love doing and represents my love of the whimsical.

This is the beginning. Annabelle has provided A4 watercolour sheets with an A5 flap. First I spray the page with walnut frosted in, then stamp selected images and lastly, stick down torn Australiana papers. Click on images to enlarge. |

I have previously selected images from my stash and fussily cut them out. I scatter the images onto the page and begin to make a careful selection and placement for them. These are changed around for a while until I'm completely satisfied with the result; then I stick them all down. Lastly I use black and white inks to enhance some of the images, then I apply a spray lacquer. |

Wow Janie what a spread. There is so much to see. I think I am going to have to print the full page spread out when on computer tomorrow just so I can revisit over and over. It is fantastic. I am sure Annabelle will be thrilled with it.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Irish JM, I'm pretty happy with the result :)
DeleteWhat an interesting spread Janie. I would never have thought of that type of approach and you did it so well. Also it's a little tutorial into your collage method. Great outcome.
