Donna Downey visits

Wow! We have been so lucky, this week as Donna Downey came to Perth for two days of workshops hosted by Made with Memories, Rockingham. On Wednesday I was fortunate enough to do Donna's Inspiration Journal workshop. What a treat got to see her Inspiration Wednesday Journal in real life so,so nice. We got to play with lots of different media - pan pastels, golden paint mmmm my favourite, gelatos and some Indian ink all in a handmade journal. Had an absolute blast and we hope that Donna can come back again next year.

Here is a little look at a few pages from the day.

These pages we put down colour using different techniques and one of them over gesso so we could see the difference between the two pages.

Love this one too did a gel medium transfer of text onto a canvas heart and then added it to the page with a bit of colour then drizzled the page with a contrasting colour, so fun.

The journal will be a work in progress and look forward to using the many techniques shown during the class. Of course it has also highlighted that I just have to now have some Pan Pastels they are so nice to work with, oh well little steps.

Thanks so much for dropping by, hope your day is wonderful.

Until next time
Karen
