The first workshop in The Artistic Mother book is to make background pages and then attach a weekly plan to it. Since I am doing this for my art journal, I decided just to do a background page. Amazingly I couldn’t find a credit card so I used a DVD and it had mixed results.
After the paint, my page looked like this:
I’ll admit I wasn’t crazy about it. I then stamped some more the next morning:
I am still not so crazy about it. Interestingly, I decided to do the second project on the other side of the same paper. And this project begged me for some stitching. I was feeling like it was unfinished without it. I spent a day worrying about “ruining” this page and then decided that’s what art journals are for.
So I stitched on the other side to my heart’s content. And here’s what this page looks like now.
Believe it or not, I like it more now.
I’m glad you decided to “ruin” the page – the stitching looks great!
I love happy accidents! The stitching makes the page just perfect like it was designed that way.
doesn’t it? thank you!! 🙂
