Is your head spinning around with fabulous ideas for LESSology Challenge #51: It's reading time!? Perhaps a mini fabric book album? Or a chipboard book album? Why not check out what design team member Yvonne Yam came up with?
These days I've been obsessed with drawing and painting faces in my altered book art journal.
I started with this book cover...
I adhered strips of patterned paper scraps with matte medium.
After a coat of white gesso to prep the surface, I went in with some shimmering mists and a stencil. [If you want to totally cover up the patterned papers, you might need a few coats of gesso.]
Next I went in with some acrylic paints...
Then I drew and painted my mixed media girl...
It was so much fun! And I love seeing the subtle patterns from the patterned paper base. Hope you will play along with LESSology Challenge #51: It's reading time! :)
