I am making these folders for my classes at Journalfest. I
am painting sheets of heavy paper that I will fold into folders to to handout the instructions for the class.
First, I randomly paint colors on a sheet of paper with acrylic paints, I use
large cheap paint brushes or cosmetic sponges
Some sheets drying in the sun. I also like to sribble with crayons.
Then I start to layer more paint with stencils. This sheet of paper started life as my table cover, then I stenciled on top of that.
More layers with rubber stamps.
Instead of using a bone folder to fold the paper in half I used a large chunky crayon.
This make a nice colored edge.
wow. i wish i were going to journalfest this year!!!

oh my gosh! I'm so excited--I'll be in your class Saturday!! Can't wait to meet you!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of using a colour stick of some kind instead of a folder as a method of introducing more/another colour is very nice. I'm not taking your class at JournalFest, but a friend is, and I can't wait to hear about her experience. I'll be off with Doris Arndt carving book board that day!
