I have been playing over with Erin Faith Allen
since early December doing her
Metamorph online workshop
I thought I might share some of the Journal spreads with you
Bearing in mind I am very much out of my comfort zone
So it is all about working with your intuition
and just seeing what turns up
This one started because of a bleed through
all the pages have been prepped with traditional
rabbitskin glue gesso
and using natural materials
and home made paints,
e.g.milk paints and watercolour
I am also using
Indian inks
as well as natural dye pigment
dissolved in meths (a type of alcohol)
and natural earth pigments
and natural indigo
These last 3 are very much
works in progress
some collage
and some paint rag glued in
Each month has a theme
and I have just completed month 4 FIRE
and there are still 8 months to go
I am hoping for improvements
along the way
or at least more confidence

absolutely gorgeous!
pushing yourself into new and uncomfortable places is brave and a really good practice. i think you have a LOT happening here, and it will be very good to see the year out, walk away, then come back to the work. i bet that you will have learned so much.
I really want to draw and paint but I have a drawing phobia, so I keep trying to find ways in and so far this has been working the best for me. I am sure by the end if nothing else I will be much more comfortable in this space.
