RM: Art Journal Technique #5 - Texture Paste

For this art journal technique swap, we're going to create one, 5x7 art journal page using a texture paste as a featured element! If you don't have texture paste, you can purchase it relatively inexpensively from a local art or craft store, Amazon, or Etsy - or even make your own using any number of techniques that can be researched online (there are some tutorials on YouTube if you're feeling extra inspired to go that route).

Please note that there are many different types of texture paste available. I personally have gritty paste, smooth paste, glossy paste, and paste with glass beads added. Any type of texture paste is acceptable for this swap. How you apply and incorporate the paste is purely at your own discretion.

Additionally, the theme, the textures used, and the colour and composition are all artist's choice. The only requirement here is that texture paste be incorporated in some way.

In a Nutshell

• ONE 5x7 art journal page with texture paste incorporated into the composition. NOTE: This page is front only, and you do not need to leave a margin for binding. It is entirely up to your partners to decide how to use or display the page. Please do sign the back of the page as the artist though!

• Ship flat and in a sturdy envelope so that it doesn't bend in transit.

• Include your username and swap name in the envelope. Optional - Feel free to include a note talking about what you loved or hated about this technique!

The Administrivia

• Send on time. Rate promptly upon receipt. Sending late without communication warrants a 3 rating and removal from the group. Not rating or having to be chased for a rating also warrants removal from the group. Communicate and rate.

• Rate according to the Swap-Bot Rating Criteria. Failure to rate your partner or to rate correctly will result in your removal from this group.

• If you are going to be late sending, make sure you let your partner and me know prior to the send-by date.

• Hearts are purely at the discretion of the rater.

• If you flake, you will be removed immediately from this group.

• If you are flaked on, let me know. I will angel this swap after you rate a 1.
