Altered Book: copper.cobalt rev 1.1
Thu, November 5, 2009 at 06:00AM Print Article "With color one obtains an energy
that seems to stem from witchcraft."
~Henri Matisse
20x12" art journal pages from my altered book project "tekenfilm" plus detail of inked background
Starting with a slightly wet gessoed page, I dipped a brush in J. Herbin Rose Cyclamen and Bleu Pervenche fountain pen inks and added a bit of color. This is a base layer of color... gesso next, to calm down the colors. The wrinkly page gives the gesso/paints an interesting texture. I'll keep you posted. The first annual NaNoJouMo (National NonStop Journaling Month) at D'Blogala is going strong!
Curious what became of this simple page? Go to copper.cobalt rev 2.1, it's a pretty drastic transition.
