Last week was my first time to participate in WOYWW and it was so much fun, so I think I am hooked. I loved looking at every ones work desk, it took all week but that was the fun of it.
Today I am only working on my journal.
I want to do a large canvas for over our couch in the living room
so I thought I would try a smaller version in my art journal.
I like how she turned out but I am having a problem with the ink sprays bleeding through.
Her dress is white but after 30 minutes it started turning pink
for this page it actually looks better pink but I would like to figure out how to stop it.
I sprayed the background with red and dark brown then I squirted some gold refill randomly
and then splattered alcohol.
Then I sealed it with a spray sealer, then clear Gesso and it still bled through.
If anyone has any ideas please share, Thanks!!
I have shared this before but I will share again, I love to dance in worship.
There is no greater joy for me than when I feel connected to the Lord.
I feel real, even exposed because what I feel on the inside, in my soul,
gets released in expressive worship.
Everyone, be blessed this week and I look forward to seeing whats on your desk this Wednesday!
If you want to join the fun go over to,

WOW...Your art journal pages are beautiful. Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting #6
This is beautiful and would be soooo great as a large painting. I somtimes seal mine a couple of times before the gesso and sometimes 2 coats of gesso, AND sometimes the ink still comes through, so I would like to know the same thing.

oh how I love your journal page and it would look amazing as a large canvas. I hope you can find a way to stop the ink bleeding so you can make this canvas work
Happy WOYWW #203 and thank you for sharing your desk with us today

Love your journal page! I'm also new and everyone is so supportive. All I can suggest is that you print onto a separate page? Use a sealant (Mod Podge or Glue'n'seal or other PVA) on your base page before adding your image? Let me know how you get on!
Lovely journal page, I have been a ballerina all my life so would love something like this!
Happy WOYWW!

Such a beautiful journal page and I agree with everyone, it will make a fabulous canvas. Can't help with the bleeding problem, other than try not to get the sprays on the area that her skirt will cover but that will be hard.
Have a great week.

Lovely page, I don't know what else you could do. I use acrylic wax as a sealant. I think you would have to collage her dress on top.

Hi Kim Thanks for stopping by my blog. Lovely ballerina Not sure how to fix the ink problem, I usually stamp or draw first then colour, then carefully paint over the image only with mod podge or similar let it dry thoroughly then spritz/ink or whatever and the sealer usually repels the background colour to enable me just to wipe it off my image. I suppose it depends on how much pigment and what kind of ink you are using and true white is always tricky with deep colours. Hope you find a solution. Hugs Mo x
