And though my craft mat will wipe off, it's not big enough to cover my table so I bought I big roll of white art paper at Michael's and I roll it out on my table and then I can use it to try out some paints, inks and even stamp off on if I want a ghost of an image. If it gets super messy when I'm done I can throw it away or just roll it up for the next time. I love your page and cover! It a wonderful reflection of you and you will start to add more techniques now and then or you will find the ones that work for you. What I love about art journaling is that it does not have to be perfect and I never think mine are. At first that bothered me but now I'm happy with it AND if you really don't like something, you can put Gesso over it all and start over. I'm finding that I like the Gelatos better for background color than paint and even sprays. Sprays are what I find so terribly messy but I have several of them. Guess I'll try to use them! :)Sandy Trefgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12166107526881914086noreply@blogger.com
