KISS JOURNAL

I called this the Kiss Journal because of the binding, which looks like a kiss (an X, top and bottom of the binding).

On left, back of window aperture. On right, title page.

Heavily distressed images (gesso) stapled to page with stencils over (gesso) and partially obscured journaling.

THEN & NOW DAYS

Opposite side of spread, landscape orientation. Gel transfer of main pic, gesso-ed stencilled numbers. Brush lettering.

YOUNG LOVE, OLD LOVE

Brush lettering enhanced with dotted Lumiere acrylics (from small squeese bottle) to add dimension.

MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

Heavily distressed scrapbooking paper (gesso) overstamped with man & text images. Slide mount covered with dictionary paper, distressed, overstamped. Page left painted over wax resist (crayon) with white gel journaling.

LOVE & KISSES

First spread, pretty basic, with gel resist Xs.

LOVE & KISSES 2

Journaling added with white gel pen finishes the page.

This journal is an ongoing work, so I will be adding more as time goes on. I have also added updated pages so you can see the changes.
