CreativeTherapy - Catalyst 17
Posted on | July 6, 2008 |
Bon jour from Paris! (Well, not really! I’m in Paris, but this was composed a week ago in Phoenix!)
It’s Sunday again! Time for us to reveal this week’s CreativeTherapy Catalyst! If you haven’t visited the CreativeTherapy blog today, please take a moment to do so! On the right is my response to the catalyst. For the journaling that goes with it - and the actual catalyst that I’m responding to - please stop by the CreativeTherapy blog!
Here is the technique I used: I knew an image of my husband had to be used, so I searched our photos for one that I could easily turn into a black and white photocopy image in Photoshop Elements. I enlarged the image and printed it out on my laser printer. I created the background with liquid acrylics and then started the image transfer. I used soft gel medium - gloss - to transfer the image. When the image was transferred and it was completely dried, I added the doodling and the words with my Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pens.
If you’re reading this when I scheduled it to publish - July 6th - I am still in France, and it’s our final day in Paris! There will be more to see when we return, but in the meantime, stay tuned for more CreativeTherapy Catalysts!
Au revoir!
