I must have missed this one. Why do you make uch complicated layouts? Why because you are Missy Whidden and that's what you do and we all love you for it! The blue along the outer edges was genius.. love love
So leaving a bit of space where you glue things on allows adding things as an afterthought. A good tip. I don’t think your pages are complicated, instead are “detailed”. I don’t do the mixed media part but I like how you do the splashes of paint or gesso and using gesso to tone down stuff.
Thank you! I usually do my best to not glue until I'm 100% sure I want it there LOL. There are so many levels of "mixed media"...it doesn't have to be a lot or messy at all. I love that everyone can do as much or as little as they prefer. I used to not do it at all, but once I tried it I was hooked. I love the look of neat & clean pages, but I enjoy actually making the messy ones...haha!
Your layout is gorgeous. Love the way you added all the coloring for the background. I’m new to mix media so I have a question. Do you need to add Gesso to your paper to add any type of paint/inklings/splatters etc.?
Thanks, Madeline! No, you don't have to use gesso at all. It depends on what you're going to do and what products you're using. I tend to like to blend colors together, so the gesso lets that happen. Splatters don't require any gesso. I know a lot of people don't use gesso at all, so it's just up to what effect you're going for.
