Gabrielle, it never ceases to amaze me how you can seem to throw and spray colours around and don't end up with a muddy brown mess (like I get!). All your projects are inspiring and wonderful :-)

[@cherirolett9687]

Thank you for taking time to show your art journal process. It's beautiful!

Love the cover and process, especially because you added some lighter colors in it. I always do my rusting colors black,brown and orange, but the rusting powder gives it that extra look! Music felled good too :) xxx

Amazing journal cover! Definitely something I would like to try one day. Tfs and teaching your skills.

[@FranOnTheEdge]

Grrrrr! You just cost me money! (Since I just had to have the mask and the stencil in your Organic Matter design!) LOL! Love the journal covers. Now if only I could get hold of the crackle texture paste too! I didn't know such things even existed. Thanks for posting this, love your videos!

[@GabriellePollacco]

Hi Fran, I believe Janene at The Scrapbook Diaries has the crackle paste ;)

[@FranOnTheEdge]

+Gabrielle Pollacco Thanks Gabrielle, but I don't think they ship to the UK. However, I've found Crackle Paste on Amazon UK, and I've just got some Kroma Crackle from The Netherlands - I've wanted to try that for about 4 or 5 years. But thank you so much for the tip.

[@milliecolon8532]

Awesome as always

[@vickiekennedy6152]

I love the work you do! I had a comment about the music. If you or anyone saw the movie "Serendipity" with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, Lar's music sure sounds like this.

[@GabriellePollacco]

Yes! that is where I first heard this music piece, it was also in the Tom Cruise movie called Vanilla Sky ;)

Thank you for sharing! Loved watching. I learned a few new techniques! Your covers came together beautifully. p.s. I didn't mind the music. I thought it went just fine with your theme. I like that you didn't choose traditional music.
