Lately I have been having a love affair with painting and printing on magazine pages - a vain attempt to re-cycle some of the paper that passes through this house but one that my Husband tells me is largely forgone by the time I have sprayed fixative and matt or gloss coating all over them, thereby trashing the ozone...oh well, a girl can try!
What to do with all of these delightful and intriguing papers? Well this lot got sandwiched together with some fabric, free motion quilted and stitched. A couple of eyelets were hammered in to hold a rather loose signature of mixed papers that I had lying around on the desk. Add a little ribbon to hold it all together, a few beads for good measure....and there you have it.......... another JUNQUE Journal!....which although appears quite RED, was at least an honest attempt at "Green" art!
woo, nice colors !

These colours are amazing, so vibrant and full of life. Very cool idea too! Magazines around my house seem to rule the roost!
