DLP week one and two

Deborahwainwright

Many of you will know about the Documented Life Project but those who don’t, can find information in my previous blog.

I have been lagging behind but have added some pages to my  journal

I decorated the cover – I first jessoed the cover in white and then played with my Gelatos. Once that was dry I used a stencil and baby wipes to remove some colour you can see where I got this technique from here.  It is by Helen  Chilton

I then got out my primary elements adding colours here and there. I then played with pens and stamped some sentiments.

I have now added the week one prompt – my front door 
I printed it off onto normal copy paper and then added it to my journal page which I had brayed using Ellen Vargo’s  technique and fresco acrylic paints – see Ellen’s work on the paper artsy blog here.

I smudged snowflake around the door to blend it in and added some circles.

For week two it was a selfy – I thought long and hard about what I wanted to add and decided to go for my eye. I added an eye to a document and manipulated it to make it grungy but then played again 
Until I had a softer look; one I thought I could blend in.
I again used my brayered and frescos 
Loved these colours and then came my eye 
I added some blue and ginger and continued to play until I got the final look

Bit of a long post today hope you didn’t get bored. Thank you for looking.
Any comments would be lovely to read x

  24. Lovely work. I really enjoyed taking a look. I love the way you played with colour and the front door was terrific, also the eye. You can really tell that you are having fun and getting loads of pleasure from DLP. Sounds like a great idea. Julie Ann xx
