Gale's Mystery Journal



Gale's journal is really inspiring. I've oggled it quite a bit and knew as soon as I got it what I wanted to do with the "mystery" theme... love is a mystery. I suppose lust is a mystery too and what really attracts us to certain people often mystifies the people around us. Surely what I thought was really appealing in my 20s is not so appealing to me now.


I am really thrilled with how these pages came out. They are much "softer" in person and I like them soo much it will be difficult to part with them. Is the mysterious woman on the right hand side of the spread part of the couple on the left? is she spying on them? is she day dreaming? her thoughts are mysterious, love is mysterious...
They are also the first ones that I have sucessfully done ink jet transfers on. I ended up getting a new printer/scanner combo when the price of ink was more than a brand new printer. Combine the fancy new Lexmark with Walmart JetPrint photo paper and I can finally make a successful inkjet transfer.

Wow - these are amazing. I'm so glad to have 'found' your blog. I hope to drop by to see more of your work. I'm intrigued how you did your image transfers - did you paint over them or under them. Very mystical indeed.
