Spread 206 – Background

September 5-6, 2015

White and black gesso, Nova color paints, Tim Holtz Distress Reinkers.

I had the most wonderful opportunity to co-teach with Orly Avineri on September 5-6, 2015 in our class “Backgrounds/Foregrounds”. Which meant so much to me since Orly gave me my start in art journaling. I taught the “backgrounds” and Orly taught the “foregrounds”.

If you can’t be in the foreground, you might as well be in background!

I love this spread so much, its strength in simplicity…and I love your kind words…loved loved teaching with you and loved how backgrounds replaced foregrounds and vice versa in a fluid way…there is something symbolic about that…XOXO
William’s comment up here? didn’t love so much…

I love the contrast between the two pages of the spread. Very effective with the balance between the writing and the circle shapes.
