Hi friends,
The day 3 prompt of 30 Day Art Journal Class was "Nicknames or love names used by friends/ parents/ spouse"
Story Behind my page: Neha is itself a short name & I hate when people bend it weird ways to form nickname for me. However, there is one nickname that I love and its short form of my name "NE". While I was in Pune for my higher studies, 2 of my roommates "Soumya" & "Vagisha" gave me this name affectionately & it stayed on with me completely
- There are loads of layers in this page. Using round ink blending tools, I applied dots or you can say blotches of "Vintage Photo" & "Black Soot" distress ink on the background.
- Then I applied a very light coat of gesso over the entire page
- Once the gesso was dry, I covered the whole page with "Pumice Stone" Distress stain
- I then doodled "NE" with "Sakura Microns" and added shading using pencil colours
- I somehow felt the page looked dull so I went on the apply Ranger "Vintage Photo" crackle paint all around the doodle
- Once the crackle paint had dried, using a felt applicator, I dabbed "Cranberry" & "Eggplant" alcohol Ink over the crackle paint to highlight the cracks.
I like how I am learning new techniques while making these journal pages. I had almost decided that I need to destash my alcohol inks but loved the results of dabbing of alcohol Inks on crackle paint, so I am going to explore this even further

Hope you all liked my Day 3 page.
