52 QUESTIONS AND TECHNIQUES - TAG 14
This week's question was " what is the last good book you read?"

Ordinarily, I'm a voracious reader and read two books, or so, a week. However, I haven't been doing much reading (or anything really) lately and even the ones I've read haven't been that great. The last great book I've read that really sucked me in and pulled me into another world was Twilight. I resisted reading it for a long long time since I don't care for vampires in any way. But this book managed to make me realize that any topic can be made into a great story, so I decided to pick it as my book.

I am not crazy about this tag, either but this week's technique was using glimmer mist. I put some thickers on the tag and then inked the whole thing. I then sprayed glimmer mist and put some pearl ink. I wanted to create the effect of "night." Afterwards, I pulled out the thickers and with some glue, put some glitter on the letters. The glimmermist made the tag all soft and wrinkly so that's why it ended up a bit odd and it's really hard to take a good photo but you get the gist. This, too, is not one of my favorites.

I am combining Emily Falconbridge's art journal questions with trying a new technique each week. You can see the full list: here
