Art Journal: Artists' Book 8

/2020/02/art-journal-artists-book-8/images/tsab8.jpg

This is my contribution for the Inner Spirit prompt.

This mixed-media layout was created using several different materials and techniques. Caran D’Ache and Inktense for the background, craft paint used for stamping and colored pencil for shading and emphasis.

The words on the pages say:

Shaman - Stone Guardian - Symbol Keeper

Symbols are miracles we have recorded into language.

– S. Kelley Harrell

We don’t heal in isolation, but in community.

– Gift of the Dream Time

Techniques include “disolving” media with matte medium added to the water for permanence. Stamping and stencilling with paint. Spattering with copper and other colors.
