Alphabet Fat Book - V - Yogi

Arches Text Wove paper
Front: Mask out the 3” x 3” square in middle with masking tape and saran wrap. Spritz with water. Dilute Adirondack Color Wash Butterscotch & Cranberry (2 parts H2o / 1 part color wash), randomly spritz with butterscotch then cranberry. Spritz with Moon Shadows Golden Doubloons, Moonlit Mulberry, Bucket O’Blood Red. Spritz a bit more Butterscotch and water. Spritz with a touch of Eucalyptus Terra Cotta. Lay cut out shapes of blotter paper, and yarns on wet paper. Lay saran wrap over all, scrunching to create nice crystal size effects. Lay a board and weight down with heavy items for a couple of hours, then remove and let dry.

After creating the backgrounds some of the back colors seeped through to my masked off square, so I decided to do my square on a seperate piece of text wove and glue it to the main page. I used Tombow watercolor markers to edge the new square and used water to move the color around a bit.. I thermal embossed the Kersal letter "V" and used Twinkles H2o's. Wrote the words Kersals & (V)ersals with Zig markers. Added a definition of a V word and wrote a border of V words both with a black Zig marker. When the square was glued down I edged it with a Krylon gold pen. Added some gold diamonds in between the border words
