Guest Artist Teresa Abajo Tutorial

Hi folks! Teresa here with another tutorial for you.

This one is a page in my art journal:

I have linked the products I have used as I went along. Here we go:

I started by creating a bunch of Gelli prints. I used  Dina Wakley acrylic paints on the little 3 x 5 inch Gelli plate.   This is a fantastic size if you're short on space and it's so easy to keep neat and tidy. The paper I used was medium quality photocopy paper:

 I used a few of my favourite stencils and after a few minutes I had this lovely bunch of prints:

 I stamped Carol's Flower stamp by Stampotique using black Archival ink:

 and cut them out:

I tore up a few book pages into little pieces, and glued them down flat to my journal page:

When all the little pieces were glued down, I covered it all with a thin layer of gel medium to make sure it was stuck down and as smooth as possible. When that dried, I drew a border with a thick black texta and shaded inside the border with a water soluble graphite pencil:

I stamped the Stampotique XOXO image and drew a box around that before adhering all the flowers to the page with gel medium. I then gave the whole page a little spatter with Dylusions White Linen spray and when that was dry, I spritzed the whole page with Perfect Pearls Sunflower Sparkle:

I hope you've enjoyed seeing how I put this page together. It took a couple of hours and wasn't technically difficult - a perfectly relaxing project!

Thanks for stopping by - stay arty!!

Wednesday morn class Sept 24th

Our Wednesday morning class was fabulous.

It is the school holidays so some of the girls can't make it,

 & one of the lucky ones is hanging around the streets of Paris 

drinking coffee & eating Creme Brulee !!!!

I was very happy when Teresa asked if her daughters could come.

Rachel & Elouise are so very talented.

I know I say it everytime but it is so thrilling to watch 

these girls just creating.

Love it !!

Anyway I thought we would get them to make a little 

accordian book just for a change.

But true to form I forgot to take picture of it as a book. 

duh !!!

The pics below are the front & back of their books.

I am so jelli ( Margaret & I used our journals )

 I think I will make one today. 

They look awesome 

Can't wait for next week girls xxxx
