Mary Ann Russo's Vintage Art Journal -- Another Page in Progress, with Another Stencil


Now to showcase artwork by other artists!  Today's featured art-maker is my friend Mary Ann Russo, who's been working on an art journal with a vintage theme.  She's been using 300-lb. watercolor papers, which she will bind together in making her own book.

Mary Ann's dimensional art, shown in two shots below, was made with Liquitex flexible modeling paste, acrylic paints and my 9" x 12" stencil Vintage Script.
