Hey there my friends! How goes it? I hope you are having a good week! I have a Book of Days spread to share with you today from last Monday - February 12th.
It was fun how this spread happened. I was just playing around with layers and backgrounds, and when I got this far, Michael came in the room and saw what I was doing...
and right away he said he saw a figure with long legs dancing! He pointed her out, and then I saw her too, and I also saw her holding hands with another figure, although you could only see some shorts and long legs of the second one. Do you see them?
So I did a little work to pull them out into the foreground, and this is how the page turned out...
The layers on this page go like this:
gesso
stenciling with dylusions spray ink
more gesso scraped on with a credit card
dictionary paper
Color Magic acrylic ink scribbles and drips
red tissue paper heart
a little red acrylic paint around the edges
details put in with poster paint pens
Journaling (lyric) typed, printed and pasted on the top
Experimenting is so much fun! I had no idea where I was going with this page, and I love how it seemed to have a mind of its own. Maybe it's my subconscious at work? Hmmm.... something to ponder.
In other news, I just signed up for Joanne Sharpe's "Letter Love 101" course. I've heard rave reviews about it, and I love lettering, so I'm excited to see where it takes me! I will keep you posted on that.
Thanks for visiting my friends! I will be back tomorrow with another update.

It can only be a good sign if there is dancing people in your subconcious ;) LOVE this spread!!
Bravo to your husband for seeing them! I have to confess that I didn't, but then when I saw the finished spread -- of course they were there! Lovely, lovely spread. Is that the two of you dancing together? Love it. Makes me happy. P.s. every time I visit, I want to ask you if you would consider turning off the comment verification. Do you get a lot of spam otherwise? xoxo
