WOYWW #124 - Completed Charcoal Page & Video Tutorial


Hi Everyone, workdesk today has on it the finished A3 art journal page I said I'd show in my last post on charcoal sketches and lots of cardboard boxes I'm using for a video tutorial I'm making today on how to turn them into a dos-a-dos journal. I'll post it on here once done.



Here is a close up of the double page spread (sorry it still isn't v. detailed close up it's because the book is so big). 
I didn't do much to it, just added a quotation from my favourite ever playwright George Bernard Shaw (in fact he is a favourite ever man of mine, let alone writer) and added a vintage collectable card of him, same as those that are in my giveaway. 

Then I added some washi tape and some penwork and gave both the charcoal sketch and G.B.S's quotation a border of turquoise toily-type material.

Happy WOYWW, thanks for visiting Jennibellie x

    What a fab double page you’ve made there Jenny, I love the bright colour combination and I’m also intrigued by the dos-a-dos journal the you mentioned because I’ve never heard of one of them, so I look forward to seeing the finished article.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog this week.

    Happy Crafting!

    Beautiful art journal!

    I love that quote, too. It's one of my favorites ever. I saw it posted in a store in Cape Cod five years ago, and I swear, it immediately changed how I lived my life. :)
