The title says it all - this should have been an earlier post for Art Journal Journey and my suggestion of Fur and/or Feathers as the theme. I think the feather rubber stamp is from Chocolate Baroque and I stamped them both more or less central on my page in my journal. That was after I had coloured the page with three different acrylic paints - New Grass (Eco Green Crafts) and Pistachio and Sea Breeze from Kaisercolour.
I blocked the feathers off and left a space at the bottom to do some writing and then used a stencil, with my black Posca pen, which did not turn out as expected but instead left me with lots of little irregular triangles dotted all over the page. I had expected more of a shattered glass look from it.
I got my cake icing book out and tried to copy some of the lettering it showed - I just about managed to fit it on to avoid the punching at the top of the page.
Finally I used my Polychromos to add one or two additional bits of shading to the feathers, mainly the shapes shown within some of them.
I hope this has shown that you can just take the theme literally and add some feathers. I would have liked to have drawn a quill pen and ink pot but don't think I have the time now. Maybe I will carry on within this journal and add it at a later date.
