[Art journal] Be the type of person...
You want to meet.
This is the first page in a new art journal I've bought. It has black pages and some people say these are difficult to work with because the color tones are different than when you use white pages. I'm not sure if this is true but I had fun trying it out. Did you ever used black pages? If so, what did/didn't you like about them?
The first layer is a half of an envelop, the second layer is an origami piece. Both layers have a spot to hide some secret messages. Other materials used are a goddess stamp, sand-texture paint, acrylics, ecoline & silver ink.

This has such deep and rich colors on it! I haven't done much on black but I know the metallic paints and inks really pop on it way better than on white! Can't wait to see more of your black pages!

ReplyDeletewonderful results, have never tried black paper and will definitely have a go now I've seen yours. Happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteLove the texture and colors of this, wonderful! Yes, it would indeed look different and not so striking on white paper.
ReplyDeleteI've never used black pages and I think I'm going to find it difficult to do. You did a great job! Love the shimmer! Patsy from

It sure give much more darker effect. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI used to love to work on dark paper but sometimes it will look muddy or dingy. You have to be careful to help the piece still look fresh and uncluttered. Your colors are vibrant against the black. I really like it :) I'm so excited to see what everyone is up to this week. I love all the inspiration....feeds my soul. Lucky to have you guys!
ReplyDeleteLove how your colors pop off the black-really nice. I tried working on black once or twice-just not my thing.Looking forward to seeing more of your art on black! happy PPF and AJED!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful layering and texture!
ReplyDelete♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

ReplyDeleteWell, obviously black journal pages work for you. I think this is really striking. The black makes it look mysterious.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the idea of secret pockets for hidden messages. What a great idea. Love the lucious dark colors. Happy PPF

Love the jewel tones and all the glimmer and glitz. Great texture as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is intensely gorgeous. I would love to know how you did it!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote. The colors are just popping out. Very rich in texture too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually work on black, but I do love it. I think it is less scary than white, and definitely the colors act different, deeper, I think. Very attractive page, mysterious and rich :o)
ReplyDeleteIt is like a cave that glows - beautiful.
