Today's prompt for In the Sun was "Today I Wish..." as well as a technique prompt for coloring image transfers with pastels. The only thing I could think of for the Today I Wish... part was that I wished the migraine I've had for the past day would go away. I didn't really think that would make for an interesting page, but I figured it would work.
I found an interesting picture in a magazine of a woman with her hand at (or near) her temple. I decided to use this to try an image transfer. I didn't have any gel medium, but I remembered reading somewhere that it could be done with Mod Podge. What I actually used was Collage Pauge. I didn't want to do it directly into my journal due to the thinness of the pages, so I used a piece of white card stock. I think it worked out okay. There are places that I could have rubbed off more of the paper, but I decided to leave some of it. I also tore around the picture while the card stock was wet to add to the distressed look. After all that, I realized that there wasn't really anything I wanted to color, so I suppose I'll save that part of the prompt for another time.
The tag reads "Today, I wish this migraine would go away!"
