Between Chapters - an Explaination
Just a quick explaination about my technique with Altered Text.
Step 1 is choose the words or phrase from the page that stand out to you. Circle them to help identify them in the next step.
Step 2 is paint a base coat of white gesso on the page avoiding the circled words from Step 1. After the coat has dried, paint a second coat. This helps thicken the page so your media doesn't soak through to the other side and also opaques the remaining words.
Step 3 is to accent your chosen words or phrase with designs or colors in the media of your choice. This is the best part of the project. :) Oil-based products are not acceptible as they can damage the book.
