An art journal page using Jane Davenport Collage napkins

"Fashions fade - Style is Eternal" Art journal page.  The background on this page was primed with white gesso and it had just leftover paints, inks and sprays from stencils put on it so as not to waste the product.  I decided to use a Jane Davenport collage napkin piece that I tore out and applied with Matte Medium.  i painted with acrylic paints, JD paint over pens, Posca Pens, JD magic wands, and clear wink of stella for the sparkle.  The title was a stamp set that I had stamped on tissue paper and tore out and applied with matte medium.

Tried my hand using pastel pencils on a teabag

My teabag art for today. I decided to try pastel pencils and they work pretty well on teabags with clear gesso primer. This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso and colored with Faber Castell Pitt Pastel pencils. Details added with black ink pen.
