sunbeams and shadows

it's funny how a journal page seems to evolve all by itself sometimes


 it all starts with some crackle paint and no idea at all about what to do with this page


then some earth tones for the background


some Titanium White


and some dark earth tone inks


a quote that you keep returning to while searching for some fitting words


the subconscious mind is a funny thing sometimes...

    Wow great texture! I wonder which tools you have used to crack the page?
    It reminds me of halloween, scary but oh so beautiful. :)

    The details are amazing in this - so clever. Makes me think of spider's legs - *shiver*. Despite what George Eliot says, I think a woman's sunbeams can brighten the dark of any shadow.

    I know what you mean about the evolution. To me, it's one of the best parts of art journaling.

    Those are my favorite kind of journal pages- the kind that have a life of their own! This page is stunning- I love the way my eyes just keep going over and over it to see all it offers!

    oh my goodness - this is so beautiful! I love crackle glaze/paint and what a beautiful effect you've created with it here. I love the quote - it's very dark but fitting with the stunning illustration.
