This journal page began as an experiment with new stencils - Crafter's Workshop Template 6"x6" - City Grid and Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Stencils - Shattered and a new set of Ranger inks. I added impressions from homemade stamps in circles and zigzags. What emerged was a geometric pattern that called for an overlay of map images. In my stash, I found my tourist maps of Hanoi that had the blue and yellow needed. An old art book provided the text. I scanned architectural images and converted them to stamp outlines with photoshop and printed them on transparencies. What I really enjoyed was the unpredictable randomness that led me in what seemed to be obvious directions. Love art journaling!
