Advent Daily Journal - Days 7 to 12

Here are the details of
the next six days of my
Advent Calendar
using prompts set by Kasia Avery
at Everything Art.

Day 7

Page 7 has an additional layer
of watered down white gesso
& uses teabag paper.


Day 8

Page 8 has an additional layer
of watered down white gesso
&  a piece of kraft paper
to reinforce the tag
with space to journal on the back
& underneath.


Day 9

Page 9 also uses a piece
of used teabag paper.


Day 10


Day 11


Day 12


Day 12 includes a photograph of myself,
instead of a Tim Holtz Paper Doll.


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.
