The challenge for this project was just as its title says: To use words in art. We first made backgrounds a week before by getting lots of juicy paint onto the background and then squishing wax paper on top of it and allowing it to dry that way.

When it was dry we peeled it off and it left a beautiful texture.

To add words there were a few choices. Magazine words, stamps of a few types, peel and stick letters, stencils with letters and handwriting letters. I told them to use either one word, one word many times, one word and its variations etc. I had said they could use a picture as well but, as soon as they got hold of my magazine stash then pictures became very much part of the journal page.

Here are some of the results.
