Textured Owl

Project Idea: Mixed Media Paper

Tear out a page from an old phone book. Then use a ruler to make torn edges on all four sides of the page.
Crumple the page, smooth it out, and use a glue stick to glue it firmly to a sheet of Strathmore® Mixed Media paper.
Paint over the phone book page with white acrylic paint. The paint should be spread thin and/or watered down so that some of the text on the phone book paper shows through when finished. Let dry.
Use a pencil to draw an owl sitting on a branch as shown. Add a moon in the sky if you like. Then trace the lines with a black permanent marker.
Color in the owl and branch with crayons. The harder you color, the better the picture will look.
Color in the background. Add a softly colored edge around the entire picture as a finishing touch.
