An Art Journal Page

Okay so I've braved the world of art journalling. I've always wanted to try it, but art journalling is something completely out of my comfort zone. I don't like not being in control and not being entirely sure what the end result is going to be. When I scrap a layout I don't stick anything down until all the elements are in position and I know exactly what the finished page is going to look like. I then carefully lift up corners of my work and stick them down so as not to move them. I have recently journalled straight onto layouts in preparation for my entry into the big wide world of messiness and I was very pleased with the result

So here is my first ever Art Journal page. I'm not really sure what I did, but I can tell you that I used Dylusions acrylic paints and sparay inks, loads of kitchen roll and a fair amount of gesso. I also made use of some buuble wrap which I had lying around from one of my many virtual shopping expeditions. The rings were made with the lid of a stick of glue and the feather is cut out of a magazine and painted over. I used some Tim Holtz stamps and hand wrote I'm taking flight. Thanks for coming over to look and I'd appreciate any comments especially the nice ones
