Note: I am writing a story/journal that I don’t want to show before it is published in full. These are some of the illustrated pages in the sketchbook for the story.
In honor of Ganesha Chaturthi, or Vinayaka Chaturthi,
our bronze Ganesha head adorned by Mitchell with red Indian beaded tassels.
Waiting for writing, this page is ink on shellacked paper.
OE journal with shellacked pages and De Atramentis Document and Super5 inks
to be used as a tip-ins in my Moleskin 8×11 watercolor journal.

Thanks! Yes! I am writing a book that I don’t want read until it is finished, but it is in a journal format. I am sharing some of the drawings. I talk about it here: https://dkatiepowellart.me/2015/09/19/my-secret-journal-one/ Love your blog!

And how do you use it? Do you have a blog post about it? There will be more shellac postings as I am finding various inks work well on shellac!
