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.

Gessoed Kitty
The left page was painted with fluid acrylics (a mix of Golden's yellow oxide and pyrrole red with a bit of Rotring's gold) diluted with water. For the right page, I used Createx primary red and water. I was just playing around with backgrounds, as usual, to see what would happen. I used white gesso to brush over the picture of the cat (from a magazine ad) and then wiped most of it off with a kleenex. It softens the shiny image and makes it look a little more arty.
