The only cool thing about this spread is the self-portrait I took and printed on Dura-lar. It’s a semi transparent surface. It’s a dream to draw on and cut out and I was pleasantly surprised at how well I could print on it. The only problem was that the ink of my photo tended to smudge. So I covered it with some packing tape and I love the look. Packing tape is another favorite.
I love these creatures and magical beings that have appeared in my journal.
And that gold. Magic. You have to let it in.

I love your floating people from your second spread – they look like they are in a pensieve. Little memories and pieces of you floating around… <3
thanks Jules, it feels quite spontaneous.
This colour palette makes my heart boom boom.
me too!
Your drawings are always on point. So inspired!
thanks T!
The words on your second page are just fantastic. so on point. And your drawings coming out of the watercolor is obviously pure magic.
thank you so much for saying so Katie. Really wasn't sure this week…
Flaps, beautiful colours, great words & magical creatures…just gorgeous! & & I love tissue paper, will have to investigate Dura-lar.
I'm discovering so many new and exciting techniques since joining Get Messy. I've never heard of Dura-lar but am about to find out. I love all of these spreads. But especially the creatures that have come to life in the second spread.
