With my choices I ended up having what I am showing today.
Started off layering all sorts of paper scraps, in a few different colours.
Instead of using gesso I used one layer of a facial tissue over it all. When I
tried to stick it down with gel medium it became a huge mess. Huge.
Here I had to leave it a while. Stepping away help with courage to just do.
Coming back I saw the lifted and torn away parts as texture.
Gesso, always to the rescue. After a layer of gesso all looks different.
Next I stapled -not trying gel medium again- a piece of white ricrac.
Back to the water colour pencils. The colours did not look right. Instead off
darkening it I chose to use different colours.
Stuck the flying bird down, giving a bit of a darker outline I got the paper too
wet. I do notlike the water marks on it.
My sentiment: as I tore pages I saw the heading on on of the pages, saw it fits
PERFECTLY here. The numbers that was on the same line I added also
because it just look like it fits.
What I used: Card, paper
Facial tissue
Ribbon
Staples
Gesso
Watercolouring pencils; yellow, two greens, two blues, black
