New Journals

4x4 Moon Journal.

I often use my journal covers as a place to experiment. On both of these new journals I was exploring texture [of course] and metallic pigments. The green one has some really cool variations in metallics using blue/green/copper pigments-- it reminds me of varigated metal leaf or foil.

If I wasn't a mixed media artist, I would be a potter-- I have a real weakness for pottery-- especially raku-- and I particularly love raku with copper, blue and purple. I am very inspired by pottery glazes and they influence alot of my experiments, especially on my journals. On this one, I was playing with purple, blue and copper using alcohol to create resist areas and mottling. I am really happy with how it turned out. The texture on the front reminds me of those variegated metal foils. Maybe in my next life, I will be a potter... or in this one someone will donate a kiln. :)
