The Gentle Knitter Journal Page

PictureThis is the original image.
Yesterday was another day of a new journal page. This time I was reading "101 Mixed Media Techniques" published by Walter Foster and came to the page about printing on reclaimed paper. The process looked exciting so I just had to try it out right away. I found an image on my computer of a girl knitting, not sure of the original source,  but I changed the photo to black and white and printed it on a piece of brown paper. I was thrilled with the results, I feel that is gives an interesting depth to the photo so I put together this journal page by spaying coffee and fired brick walnut ink through a lace runner on the journal page and used several hand writing rubber stamps along with a Tim Holtz  pen nib stamp and a Quietfire "cherish" word stamp. The image was torn and glued on along with computer generated words printed on Gellie print scraps.

I like how you altered the image - it looks more vintage and distressed. Lovely journal page all over. I have that book too! I think it was one of the first mixed media books I have bought. I've purchased quite a few others since then! In fact, I'm kind of addicted!

I too have that boo with the intention of working my way through it but never did. I like how you took this technique and created an entire page. I like that idea of printed on the brown paper. Thanks for sharing this inspiring idea!

Printing on the bag gives her such a wonderful look! The stamps you used create such a great vintage vibe! Thanks for sharing your play with Let's Play!
