Description Gothic Arch chunky page for a swap at illustratedatcs.

Incorporates a grommet with onion bag netting and a small silver fish milagro.
The ripples are made with squiggles of white wood glue - dries translucent and makes for great texture.

Gothic arches are a variant of chunky pages - measuring 4" x 6" - pages are often bound into a book. Check out [link] for info, inspiration and a page template.

Wood glue is cool - you can also make lacy patterns and then rub paint over it!

Loving the ripples. The use of text for the bodies is awesome, too.

This is so creative. I love how you have used the onion bag and grommet with the little fish. I save those little bags fruit comes in and figured there must be some way to use them in my art. Used one to make texture for a piece I am working on now, but it's a painting. It worked well. I also like how you used that wood glue. Nice.

Only problem is the faint whiff of onions!
