"Let The Magic Happen"

This is another art journal for my friend for Christmas. She loves faries and dragonflies so I decided to put both on her journal. I also added affirmations to encourage her when her art critic is giving her a hard time. I used hand painted papers, gel medium with stencils to create texture, acrylic paints and added jewels to give it a little bling.  I tied a fairy charm on her bookmark for good luck. I hope she has fun putting her inspirations in this journal and then lets the magic happen!

Christmas is coming and I have been busy creating gifts for my friends. This is the cover of an art journal. I used papers that I had created with gesso on tissue paper and then used stamps to make the designs. I used matt gel for the textures and liquid acrylics mixed with gesso to make the paint opaque. The bamboo is made from clay and I used oil pastel for the high lights. Gotta have a little bling so I decided the one in the middle would be the focal point so I added red jewels for eyes. I dangled a gold elephant from the bookmark for good luck.
