Bringing the Otter to Life

There’s something magical about transforming a simple sheet of paper into a textured, layered piece of art. For this project, I used Josephiena’s Collage Paper “Wild Life 3” (CP-088) — featuring our very own hand-painted otter. The artwork is printed on beautifully thin printer paper, which makes it easy to cut, glue, and blend seamlessly into any background.

A good example of a tough art journal page, in which I use rice paper, acrylic paint, and stencils, among other things.

In the video I explain how I created this tag




First I pasted old book pages into pieces all over the page. Then I spread a thin layer of gesso over it. I applied a little color with stencils. The color Light Pinkish Orange by Cadence turned out to fit very nicely with the picture of the blossom.
