Hello everyone
I'm sharing some love with you all today
revisiting a tutorial from last year that I Loved
hosted by the very talented Laly Mille.
This time created in my February junk journal rather than on canvas.
it's created by collaging recycled scrap papers each with hand written
words of self care, love, gratitude and kindness to oneself.
Covering those written messages with gesso and paint I drew a
focal heart collaged and over painted again, doodling quotes
around the heart, adding machine stitch on the page edge...
As Valentine's Day approaches it can be overwhelming,
please remember to LOVE yourself...
Take care everyone
Creative Hugs
Tracey xx

Wow, such a stunning page! The way you created the heart with those paper scraps is amazing and offset with that beautiful coloured background makes these pages magical - I love it 😀. I hope you've had a lovely week and wishing you a happy Friday and weekend! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteWonderful project and gorgeous colours. Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLaly Mille is one of my favorite mixed media artists, too, I love how you took her lesson and made it your own. There is nothing better than sewing on paper, in my opinion. This is a stunning journal entry, dear Tracey. Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Bleubeard's and my theme.
ReplyDeleteI love this page Tracey. I am a big fan of hearts, and this collaged one is beautiful. And loving yourself is so easy to forget sometimes, isn't it? This is a fabulous page and it is so your style. Perfect for Elizabeth's challenge. Thanks for sharing it with us, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteCreative hugs to you too.

a really beautiful piece for Valentine´s day. I specially love the blue surrounding the heart. For me, blue is more love then red actually :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen this project flying around Instagram - when I saw yours I thought that looks a lot like Laly's! Wonderful layers! I could only find the trailer video, but I think that's enough for me to have a go too! Hope you're well Tracey! xx
