This blog was set up for the spreads that I do in my daily life art journal. It is simply a Mead Composition notebook where most of the pages have been transformed with acrylic paint, rubber stamps, magazine clippings, bits of my calligraphy, and my writing about whatever happened to me that day.

Fourth of July
The background of this page was created with a paint I made by mixing Golden's Fluid Acrylics into white gesso. To about a tablespoon of gesso, I added 1 drop of yellow oxide, 2 drops of phthalo green and 4 drops of black. When I brushed it on, I worked quickly; purposely leaving some unpainted streaks. These bits of white add sparkle and life to a background. The image and title were from a newspaper ad.
