Janie Under the Sea

Janie O'Brien' spread in Danie May's Under the Ocean Journal. I didn't have a preconceived idea for my spread but instead fussy cut numerous pleasing pieces to suit the theme and placed them on the paper until I received a satisfactory result.



Sprayed the pages with a mixture of metallic Starburst inks and let air dry.

Next I added some pale aqua tissue and pasted down over page encouraging wrinkles.



Sprayed with darker blue, dried, then sanded down to reveal texture.


Commenced adding fussy cut collage elements.


selecting from collage elements and creating seaweed.



The finished product with a final metallic spray to give uniformity to the art and to absorb cut collaged items into the background.
