The Butterfly Flower Graffiti Journal
Traci Bautista
transformation.bloom.hip.vibrant.bliss.no rules...a mixture
of beauty and urban street culture. create a mixed media
journal with unconventional layers of textured "fusion-dyed"
painted papers, digital prints and fabrics covered with your
own personal graffiti marks. The structure is sewn with a
big funky fabric flower collage and signatures of random-
sized stained papers are finished off with a freestyle
macrame binding. Make your mark accenting vibrant
backgrounds with handmade printing plates made from garden
kneeling pads, cardboard, found objects...explore
monoprinting, collagraphs, and creating handmade stencils.
Learn about shadow prints & color-dyeing images and
incorporate them into the luscious layered journal pages.
Learn techniques from my book Collage Unleashed due July
2006!
