Today I'm working on a journal cover for a journal giveaway I'm doing on another blog (deathbytop.tumbler.com). I'm using a photo printed on photo paper and I needed to create a background for it. The look I'm trying to recreate in paint is that of an old ancient leather. It's looking pretty pretty authentic. Still have to add a couple of layers of sealer but I put the paint on pretty heavy so I would have lots of colors to pull out to complement the black and the colors in the photo I'm using. Will take a while to dry ho hum. Can't wait to see how it turns out! The journal will feature watercolor paper - I love these journals. They are pretty easy to make and I love being creative with paint on the Masa paper. I use mine for drawing, experimenting with paint combinations, writing, and just doodling. They also look pretty classy lying on a table or bookcase.
