Art Journal- Clever/Wise

This page has yet another Rumi quote.  The little globes in the background were cut from an old atlas that I found, it’s from the 70’s.  I hate destroying old books but this turns parts of a book (that will probably never be used again) into art, and I’m learning to get over it =)  

The bricks that you see in the background were done with a mask that I made using a hot glue gun- a brilliant idea that I saw on YouTube.   I’ll have to write a how-to for creating those glue gun masks soon.  I also used spray inks, stamping,  and modeling paste to add more texture to the background and to make the globes blend into the background more seamlessly.
