I have a daily agenda, just a binder with a plastic cover, the usual things,
that was calling for me to alter it.
I sloshed paint over it, then some
caulking…made impressions into it. Sprayed it with paints, glued some pieces
to it, added Distress crackle paints, bead gel, more paints and my newest
favorites, Inka Gold pastes/paints. Love that huge paper clip from the dollar
store!
Encourages me to work, right?

A bracelet along the right side of this front page. The star was edged with glitter glue paint.
Chiffons and cottons are layered and stitched.
The centre is molding paste on a piece of upholstery fabric, painted with lumieres.
More cotton and chiffons.
The centre is a rubber stamp on fabric, then layered with more cottons shapes.
Here are a few pieces of baby wipes, used for wiping up paint, and cleaning brushes.
Also a piece of a glittery gold and black doily.

Here I altered the cover of this purchased journal, again using molding paste and caulking. Then Lumieres. There is also some round pieces of cardboard under the paste, as well as Plaster gauze. I love playing with these products!

Here are two small books I made using caulking and paints for the covers. The butterfly is a chipboard piece. I went through my stash of papers and cards which I used for doing samples, techniques, and experiments and came up with quite a bit that I could use for the pages in these two journals. They were fun to make:
