52 Questions and Techniques – Tag 8

This week’s question was “what was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?”



I thought about this one for a long time. In the end, it always comes back to my family. My husband makes me laugh a lot and so does my 4-year-old son. Watching them play together also makes me laugh out loud often and all the memories I could remember of myself laughing involved either one or the other, or both so I centered my tag around family.



This week’s technique was inspired by two very talented ladies: I used the wax melting (using a crayon) technique Claudine Hellmuth highlights in Collage Discovery Workshop and this beautiful art journal page by Ali Edwards that has inspired me for a long time. Besides the wax, I’ve also used acrylic paint rolled over with a brayer and green alcohol ink as well as several distress inks and brown chalk ink.
