The application to Page 5-6 in my soul journal after taping, is to paint with gesso 1 side in white the other black. I don't have black gesso so i added carbon black to the white gesso and applied that. I don't know if it would have been a different finish involved but i get the idea. Then apply a color
I applied copper then touched it with peeled paint (a green color) stamping ink. It doesn't show up as well in the picture. The effect was like an aged copper. I liked it.
I am supposed to find a flower. You might think this should be an easy task. I don't have any flowers. my closest neighbor is 2 miles in any direction...this should be interesting.

The copper is beautiful! Do you have any wild flowers, or even a pretty weed? :)

Yum! Your aged copper effect is perfect.
Maybe there might be a flower on the roadside? Good luck!
LOL
yes...i CAN go and see if any wild sunflowers are left...oh duh..sometimes i do not think!
thanks y'all
Laugh - I was going to ask if you found the flower! I forgot all about this part of the task but I can pick some weeds in the morning - like you, I'm not growing flowers this year. Which is all good - I have money and time for other things!
Your page looks fabu!
WOWSERRS coming along so beautifully!!! Love it!

Your Journal is coming along just fabulous really great work Mary. Sorry I haven't been around not in blog land often these days...
I was spending way to much time looking around and not doing :):)..
What great textures you have. I love the distressed look. Well as long as it isn't on my face. Oh thanks for reminding me about the flower -- totally spaced that part. :) k
Your pages are amazing - I loved the transformation as we sanded and applied gesso and paint. I can't wait for the next stage!
Linda :-)
Your tape pages are gorgeous! I want to reach through the screen and touch them - they look so textural. Thanks for sharing!
