We met with our art guild last Wednesday and one of our members, Jodi Ohl explained how to use various media in paintings, collage work and on paper. Inspired by her work which has been published several times in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine, (visit Sweet Repeats to check it out) we decided to check it out and do our own experiments. 
Sabrina got right to work with the molding paste. She molded canvas, paper, metal - basically anything she could get her hands on. Next she drug out the sand paper - sanding, sanding, sanding. I think she's in love.I, on the other hand,
in response not only to Jodi's urging to try medium, but also our attendance at Amy's "intuitive journaling" workshop, got out my journals, acrylics, gouache (which I really love to work with,) and painted some pages using paints and medium.

The medium almost plasticizes the pages giving them a really nice hand, as well as making a great surface for acrylic ink

I think I'll get my camera out and take a few pictures and try that.
