I started by painting a book page pink and scrubbing on a bit of white paint.
A few steps here: I used a roller to add some blocks of purple colour.
I then used a tile adhesive tool to 'comb' a smear of black paint on a glass board to create rough stripes, which I printed onto the page...
I then added my tissue paper image, using plenty of matte medium so the paper went transparent.
Next, I added some stencilled lettering and darkened the edges of the page...
Plus some stamping and edging lines...
I finished off by adding stamped journaling and some final detail using a blue Pablo pencil.
The journaling is about saying goodbye to this image of a soldier, which I like so much I've used it many times in various mixed media projects. This is the 'one last time' I'm using it, and luckily I'm quite pleased with this swansong page!

aha - I saw this just now on UKS and was going to ask how you got your image transfer so perfect, now I know :) Do you laser print onto the tissue (is that even possible?) - or, if it's inkjet, how come it doesn't run with the fluid matte medium? so many questions :) But this page is bloody amazing and I am more of a huge fan of yours every time you post something new :) Still loving that big, stencilled title falling off the page thing. Brill.
wow that is a well thought out - excellent page. Love it.
