My first project is a mixed media layout in my prayer journal. Owls always make me think of my dad. He’s collected cool figurines of owls for years. And, he’s wise ❤️ I love the process of creating as I pray through a worry or a praise, sharing my heart. My dad’s health has been a subject of many prayers—both worry and praise in the last several years. Today, I praise—each day is a gift.
I started by covering my prayer with various paper scraps, gesso and paint. Next I stenciled texture paste to create the leaves, using ink sprays to color.
I used images from All That Grunge on the background and then added more interest with black and white florals from Special Place. I thrifted a ton of gauze fabric - which is so great for adding more texture to project— it was quite the find! I added a frame of it behind the main image from Soulful Owl. Isn’t he gorgeous? The sentiment is also from Soulful Owl—and perfectly fits a journal page dedicated to my Dad.
