2019 Topic 12: Eyes
It's
amazing how Grunge Paste and infusions can add a lovely interest to any
background. Kate often starts a page this way, and on this occasion she
has pulled out the infusions to add more colour to her stamped dolls.
Hi everyone, it's Kate (https://kateyetter.com) with you today, and I'd like to share with you an art journal layout featuring the topic: Eyes.
I
wasn't sure where I was going to go with this project but since I was
using these Lynne Perrella dolls I knew I wanted to showcase the whole
stamp with a focal point on the eyes. I am working through a journal
with neutral color backgrounds so I thought this would be a great way to
make the stamped images pop.
Looking back I think I would have liked the background to be a bit darker.
I used my Chalk paints and infusions to paint the images.
My background is vintage paper that I stenciled with grunge paste and then sprayed with Black Knight and Lemoncello infusions.
After painting and fussy cutting my images, I added some gold embossing and clear embossing liquid.
I wanted some contrast so I added a piece of torn muslin directly behind the stamped doll.
I
thought it would be really fun to put one of the heads on metal wire.
And to emphasize the eyes I cut out another set of stamped eyes and
layered them on top, adding some clear embossing liquid which in my
opinion, makes the colors more vibrant.
A bit of fiber and brown tissue paper were added in for extra texture.
Keep Making Art,
Kate

This is a glorious page spread, Kate. I'm really glad the background isn't darker, I think that framing effect around the figures, fading out towards the edges of the pages, works beautifully to draw your eye to the intricate LP images. Fabulously detailed, fabulously grungy. I love this!

Oh Kate so much to see here! I love the stencilled background and textures you've used underneath the dolls. And what a wonderful way to take elements from the dolls and add emphasis to them! The colour combo works so well - you've added even more to my must have list!
fantastic work, love it
Fabulous spread, Kate! I wonder if you're allowed to share it at Art Journal Journey where the theme this month is "Anything with Eyes." Eileen xx
