Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own. - Carol Burnett
For this Art Journal page I used words as my guide and just started putting them down until they fell together. I then glued the ones down that seemed to work best.
Before I glued the words to the background I used a white China Maker to purge some thoughts. I then used a black stabilo woody pencil and a little water to pull out those thoughts.
I then added the words, some paint, a little crayon, and bits of collage to complete the piece.
Supplies Used:
Glue Stick
Cotton Paper
Collage Words
Acrylic Paint
Art Crayons
Collage
If you don't have a supply of already cut out words I would suggest taking an afternoon or evening and a stack of magazines/old books and start cutting. This is such an enjoyable way to spend a few hours, at least for me. I feel like it's a little bit like looking for beach glass on the shore of a lake, as you search for that perfect word or phrase... okay, so maybe beach glass hunting is a little more enjoyable... either way, they are both great ways to spend some time searching for something...who knows what you'll find!
