Sharing some fall painty papers made with Glimmer Mist sprays and a glimpse at the Halloween goodies I trove-dived for…the last of the mother load.

More about my plans on a You Tube Vlog coming on Monday, the 27th. http://www.youtube.com/c/carolmartineart

These photos were taken while I was making the video tutorial. So, they are much more close-up. I must remember to do this more often. LOL Love including the art traps in my shares…real world vids to say the least.

Since I have fallen head over heels with making Junk Journals, have seen the value of having a spray box…

So, the box. Found this which is 12 inches wide (pure luck) and approx 9 inches deep.

I line it with s few layers of cheapo paper towels (no Bounty here, am a thrifty girl).

Then lay in your paper/s, book pages, tags, index cards.

Lay on stencil of your choice. Spray with 1, 2, 3 etc. Layers of paint.

Lay another paper onto wet stencil…I used copy paper for mine. Rub so wet spray on top of stencil ghost prints it.

Pull print, lay flat. Remove stencil and lay painty paper to dry. I turn stencil over and blot onto paper towels.

Go again…toooo much fun.

Having decided to take the plunge into junk journals, I was faced with starting fresh in an area…and opening a huge learning curve for myself. Seeing the work of other artists and the journals they produced made me finally join in the fun. Oops! I have to start from scratch and figure out what it’s all about.

So…said I to myself, “Self, forget the video sharing and do some spreads alone in your studio…get the feel of the junk in junk journaling.

Here are some pix of what came to me…Carol needs to learn more about the meaning of junk, and then follow my own path. Because, this is sooo much fun.

Tomorrow I will be sharing a video showing the spreads and some a..ha moments. http://www.youtube.com/c/carolmartineart

These small travelers notebooks have been making puppy noises to get me to give them some love.

So, to celebrate getting to 1800 subscribers, I gave them attention.

Caught up to date in my planner, and added collage bits to pages according to my whim. Now, they have the beginnings of collage stories. I’m especially in love with my new vinyl covered junk journal from @Shannon Green. She has put vinyl pockets in both covers and lots of delicious papers.

Feeling accomplished,

Carol
