If you're new to Art Journal Every Day, there is a short introduction here. All of the previous posts can be found archived here. There is a flickr group for sharing right here. Remember, it's just ten minutes of nourishing your creative self every day! No need to finish anything or even like it. If you've done some art journaling this week and you've blogged about it, or put it on flickr, please leave a link in the linky list at the end of this post. Thanks!
You guys, I've discovered a new-to-me product that I love! It's super fun and easy to use and creates a wickedly cool background for your art journal. Although, I will also say that I think you could create a really awesome abstract painting using this same method — simply do it on a canvas instead of in your art journal.
Here's my art journal background:
Cool looking, right?! The best news is that it's so super easy to do!
STEP ONE: Cut or rip up a bunch of bleeding art tissue. It has to be the kind of tissue paper that bleeds. I tried it with some regular drug store tissue, but it didn't bleed. Lay them on top of each other — in a big pile or a careful arrangement, depending on what you want.
I'm working on a teflon craft sheet so that the tissue stays very wet and the color doesn't transfer. If you work on plain paper, some of the color will transfer into that paper — which is also a cool effect.
STEP TWO: Use a spray bottle to spritz the tissue with water. Use a lot or a little depending on the result you want. For this example, I only did two spritzes.
As you can see, the tissue starts to bleed almost immediately.
STEP THREE: Wait a little while and then dry with a heat gun or wait a long while and let it dry naturally.
This is what you end up with:
The ink is still water reactive at this point, so when you collage it, it will bleed a little. I collaged my pieces onto a tag…
…and you can see in this detail photo that the Matte Medium I used to collage the paper did cause the tissue to bleed a little bit:
If you're covering the entire surface it's not a big deal, right? But it is a good idea to cover the top of the tissue with Matte Medium to try to prevent additional bleeding as you layer in your art journal.
Here are some tissue squares that I used more water on and let sit for a longer amount of time:
Have you played with bleeding tissue paper before? I'd love to know what you've done with it!
Here is this week's linky list:
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. For those of you in the U.S. wanting Birgit's stamps…
…you can now order them from The Ink Pad. They ship all over the U.S. Just call them up to order!
Also, a little bird told me that those of you living in Canada, can get them from BizzyB in Toronto (where I'll be teaching in October, fyi)! Yay!
Nope, never used bleeding tissue but it reminds me a bit of citra-solved paper.

Great idea – I’ve used the bleeding tissue to color plain paper, never thought of using it on itself – will give this a try.

Some lovely effects with this, Julie – I’d not heard of bleeding tissue before, except when I went crazy with the craft knife. This time I’ll source it out and try a less painful way to play!

I love bleeding tissue paper. I haven’t used it in a while but you’ve given me the resolve to go back to it. I buy it at the Rhode Island School of Design art supply store, but I’m not sure regular craft stores like Joann’s or Michael’s sell it as most people prefer the non-bleed. Non-bleed doesn’t give you the same effect.
It IS messy, which is why I haven’t used it in my work for a while, but the colors you can get are just fun and outstanding. you still have to watch muddiness though

I’ve only used the white bleeding tissue paper. I stamp on it and then use it on journal pages or on canvas. The white tissue disappears and leaves the stamped image. It’s great when you have a textured area that is hard to get a good stamped image on. I read that you can soak the tissue in water and you have “ink”. Love what you did with the colored tissue. It’s on my “to buy” list now!

Yes! I used bleeding tissue paper with my students back in the day and my son more recently to create backgrounds for craft projects. Here’s an ocean we made:

Well, I’m ahead of you on this one, Julie! I’ve been using art tissue for backgrounds for years. Usually I have a specific theme in mind, Fall, Spring, etc. and tear up tissues and lay them down to create sky and ground if it is a Nature theme, etc. I love using this stuff, and you can indeed use the pieces over and over, they will give you lovely softer tones as you use them again. I can usually use mine about 3 times!

I’ve used tissue from the Pound shop- I live in the UK- to create backgrounds on ATCs and Journal pages. This works really well though deeper colours give the most dramatic effect. This cheap tissue can’t be used again as all the colour comes out but you can get tons of backgrounds from one pack!

I have some of the bleeding tissue paper in my stash. I make new paper with a waxed paper method I learned back in the mid 1950s in elementary school. Using white glue watered down until it looks like milk, glue torn bits of the tissue to a piece of waxed paper. Completely cover the waxed paper with overlapping pieces of tissue and allow it to dry. Once dry, you can peel the tissue off the waxed paper. Then I use Scor-Tape to make homemade washi tape.
The traditional elementary art project was/is to place the newly created paper into a frame of black construction paper to get a stained glass effect. Butterflies and flowers are frequently made. These look bright and cheerful taped to the classroom windows or hung from the ceiling with string. I’ve seen pictures of glass jars covered with pieces of tissue; I’m not sure what type of glue was used.

I have tried a technique very long ago, with wrinkled, torn, and then gently wet bleeding tissue. The tissue is removed once dry to leave very interesting patterns on the paper. Here is a picture of a few samples I’ve done many years ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/martaharvey/15105806739/

First of all, I love your results. The colors are great. Something I tried years ago (I can’t remember where I got the idea, probably a craft magazine), that requires a great deal of patience: take a stack of papers, colors, white, scraps, anything lying around loose. Bundle into a stack and layer with bits of bleeding tissue. Tie it securely and put it outside over the winter. Watch the weather get to it. After the snows melt, etc., untie it and let everything dry out. There were a few disappointments, but there were also some amazing papers to use in collage, cards, etc. I wish I had used more tissue, but it was still cool.

I have used the tissue paper technique many times. The problem is that is not permanent. The papers will eventually fade. Many years ago I did a large piece that had pen and ink drawings over the tissue. My mom hung it in her living room and after about 10 years the color faded out.

Yoletta, In the 60s I did many bleeding tissue collages with India ink drawing & lettering , too. I don’t know how the ones I sold or gave away have fared, but the special one I did for my husband to commemorated our wedding has only slight fading of the reds. It may be that it has never hung in direct sunlight. I looked for some last year as I wanted to use it for a book I was illustrating but didn’t find it here. Didn’t think to check Jerry’s ,or Michael’s which is in a nearby city, so glad I found the link that led me here!!!
I bookmarked & will be perusing all your pages, Julie!

Yoletta, In the 60s I did many bleeding tissue collages with India ink drawing & lettering , too. I don’t know how the ones I sold or gave away have fared, but the special one I did for my husband to commemorated our wedding has only slight fading of the reds. It may be that it has never hung in direct sunlight. I looked for some last year as I wanted to use it for a book I was illustrating but didn’t find it here. Didn’t think to check Jerry’s ,or Michael’s which is in a nearby city, so glad I found the link that led me here!!!
I bookmarked & will be perusing all your pages, Julie!
