Fight Club is one of my favorite books and I used to read it ever year. It reminds me about the power of spare, effective writing and it speaks to me the way Jane Eyre speaks to other people.

I've been working on this page for ages. I made the background at a triathlon waiting for Chris to finish the bike leg. Using Aquarelles and a spray bottle. I'd draw thick lines in three colors and then mist them with water so they would drip down. Then I'd hold it over my head up to the sun to dry and then repeat with three different colors in the opposite direction. I kept doing this, building up layers until I was satisfied with the look.
The two images were added to the page using Mod Podge transfer. I'm so totally enamored with this technique. It's amazing to be able to transfer the image without covering up the background. I chose this transfer method because I wanted to create the impression that Ed Norton (right) was receding and Brad Pitt (left) was emerging. Hopefully that came through.

That is awesome and I love that movie.

I totally LOVED your tut over on Julie's blog. Reminds me of some home-made mini stamps I made years ago... I was a FIMO junkie and had plenty of the stuff. One day I made a marble sized ball and thumb printed it really hard onto a textured surface. The result was a 1" wonky circle stamp with the cutest random texture pattern. I immediately trawled the house for textures to press onto (like toothbrush handles and trainer soles etc). I baked the stamps and used Stazon to stamp with. Happy days. OK, turned into a waffley comment. Love the blog.
