Art Journal: Mermaid Stamping

/2019/04/art-journal-mermaid-stamping/images/mermaidstamps.jpg

I’m making pieces that can be added to my mermaid book!

In this case, I’ve stamped on multi-media paper and deli paper. I’ve used various colors of ink because I’m not sure exactly how I will be using all of these.

Next, I will use Inktense pencils to add some watercolor effects to some of them. I may also use some paint effects over that, such as high gloss or crackle.

I am also beginning to assemble parts for various pages. I like to figure out what is going on a page, and put all the pieces in a binder pocket. Then, when I am ready to assemble, I can put it on the page quickly.

Here’s a trick: I assemble the parts on the page, and take a picture. When I ready to make it permanent, I can refer to the photo!

I’m thinking about adding some pockets, tags, and flip features. I may have to make some templates tomorrow!
