Here are the details of
the first six days of my
Advent Calendar
using prompts set by Kasia Avery
at Everything Art.
Day 1
The prompt was to write a postcard to ourselves,
so I used a separate postcard
& used washi tape to secure it in my journal.
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
On yesterday's walk
(Day 4)
we were to gather items
to use on today's page
(Day 5).
Mine includes a round sticker
from an item I purchased
whilst on that walk.
Day 6
Page 6 has an additional layer
of watered down white gesso.
All the pages have a base of
clear gesso by Liquitex.
I used Neocolor II
watersoluble wax pastels
by Caran d'Ache in
Golden Ochre, Olive, Gold
White, Beige, Greyish Black
& Malachite Green.
The Paper Dolls are from Tim Holtz
as are two of the three tapes.
I have also used an old dictionary,
some old gold foiled white tissue paper,
words cut out or torn from my old edition
of Pride & Prejudice
& pages from an old copy
of Daphne's Diary magazine.
