Deli Paper/GelliArt
Art Journal
I started playing with this journal page last weekend after I finished the "October" trees on the page opposite it. Usually, I do a 2-page spread and the pages are "connected"; but not this time. This is torn pieces of deli paper that I printed while on vacation in August. I started at the bottom of the page and then I added the star paper at the top. In the middle, I was having trouble. At one point, I thought of covering the whole thing with gesso and starting something else. But I persevered, and ended up with what you see here. The stars had a paler blue around them which I didn't like as much, so I added a darker shade. There's a lot of texture with the deli paper that is hard to capture with the camera, but I like to run my hand over the page. And as I kept looking at this....perhaps trying to make sense of it....I thought of the beginning, creation...Genesis. Is this how it started?
