Doodle Blot to Art Journal

You may remember that I created this ink blot back in December HERE.http://indigo-blue-designs.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/doodle-blot.html

 Then with a sharpie pen I added some Doodles.

Which resulted in the above drawing.

Well after that I was not really sure what else to do with it so it has been sitting in a plastic wallet in the sewing room.

Then I decided to throw caution to the wind and just "Do" something with it.

I Gessoed some pages and them added spirals and other simple details taken from the background of the initial drawing.  I used a white pastel and purple and lilac watercolour paints over the top.

I then ripped out the drawing to form a jagged edge and added ink to the very edges of it using more purple coloured ink.

Once it was stuck down with Tacky Glue I started to add some more details to the background using these.....

The inktense pencils are not quite the colour I was expecting from the pencil cover so I advise you try it out in a scrap piece of paper before adding to work, just to be sure.

I am quite pleased with how it turned out considering it was a piece of scrap paper used to protect the table beneath.  I am not sure if it needs a little something else adding to it, but because I am not entirely sure what that something else is I think that perhaps for now I shall leave it as it is.

Have a good week.
