Synchronicity


I was trying to create a lo for a challenge on UKS using spring colours, ribbons and sewing and food. The photo I had in mind was a halloween one... I created a background stamping the skeleton and crow from TH and decided to stamp the waste in my journal. I sprayed the lo and then the journal page and so on... Although as you can see I did end up with quite different pages. At this point there was some similarity.

But after more ink, paint and stencil layers the journal page became very different.
I wrote my journalling and then wanted a title to sum up how I felt. I used a stencil and modelling paste to create the letters - be warned it is messy and if you are impatient like me you make a mess.
Meanwhile back at the scrapping lo I created coffin style two tone tags for my journalling.
and once the modelling paste was dry on the journal page I coloured the letters with aqua pro markers but left some of the white showing. 
I do like the linkage between the two and the fact that using similar materials and supplies you can create something quite different.
I am not sure if there is such a word as synchronisity (and blogger spell check thinks not correctly because it is synchronicity - doh) but I think this is exactly what happens when two mediums collide and its my blog so I decide to correct the error (thanks to Angelnorth even though blogger does not recognise this either)

  1. These look great, love the coffin shaped tags for the journalling on the LO! (it's synchronicity, BTW "c" rather than "s" which is why your spell check spat it out!)
