Addiction, your name is stripes! Or so it seems these days ...Here is another stripe-inspired spread.
The pages were prepped with dry brushed paint. The journal was open on the table and as I peeked at the pages from across the table, I "saw" them. The two women faces on the right page. I then transferred two images at the top of the right page. I then added the dancer and the paint chip stripes at the bottom of the page. I did not know what to do with the remaining of the page. From the layout of the images a solution imposed itself: stripes, of course. Doodled stripes.
The yellow square on the left page is a yupo skin (I took a piece of yupo, painted and printed on it, applied gloss medium, let it dry and then peeled off the skin). At the bottom right there is a half-man face that emerged like the other ones. I should have probably used one colour only for doodles; black would be the obvious choice. Using one pattern per stripe would have made the pages clearer. I am OK with the result, except that it is a bit too busy. Thanks for visiting!

Mona - yes, super busy pages, but super fun!! Love that it evolved from some strips. Thanks for sharing even more work with the team. You are rolling!
It is busy but I still like it. I like the textured look the strips create. I like your doodles in dif colors - great art!
These muct have taken a bit of time, but it was so totally worth it, Mona. They are absolutely fabulous! I love the vibrancy.
It's so great how creativity hits us from across the room, even if we aren't waiting for it. Busy pages are such fun to spend time with. These are great.
the women's faces are excellent, and that yupo skin thing is brilliant. i would love to give yupo a try. don't think i can get a hold of it here.
some black would have enhanced it i agree. great spread.
Wow Mona - there's so much to look at - it's great. And I like how it spills over the edges of the pages.
I love how the faces came into being. It is incredible work.
Beautiful pages, love all the details, there is just so much to see ! Well done !
Wow - fun pages! Love the images.
