Sludge
Take a discarded children’s book, or any other book you have or find, and turn it into a working surface to paint, or create a new image on.
As an artist or crafts person, we are often looking for a place to try out different ideas, I first say pages being reconstructed when I saw a junk journal being made. In the video the artist was taking old flyers and other junk mail and repurposing it into a journal, where she then proceeded to embellish it so that it could be used for journaling, art ideas, thoughts, project possibilities… every scrap of paper, cardstock was recycled into a work of “personal” art.
The idea of recycling books no longer wanted or enjoyed as they were, struck me as a good one, especially I had books and magazines everywhere that I could use to jump start my imagination.
I found this product, Sludge by Tri Art on the shelves of the local DeSerres Art Supply shop. Gesso was more expensive, and the colour selections I had with the Sludge offered a challenge that I wanted to take. Where at one time I had a brush or palette knife attached to the end of my arms at all time, it has not been the case for many many years. Now when I enter an Art Supply place.. it is a brand new experience.
In PL, Perfect Liberty, we believe that everyday is a brand new experience. To an artist of life, it presents us with a brand new canvas. It is up to us, to be as creative as we can be, to find happiness, and share that happiness with others.
