Not me - HA! I've been without a computer for the better part of a week, as I transition to a new laptop. While I have the new one home now, it's not working properly (or is that me?) and goes back into the shop tomorrow.
In the meantime, I got playing in one of my journals; here's a spread that was finished recently (the start is
here).
As I was browsing I became mesmerized by the patterns created as I brayered off paint from gel printing - it's how many of my backgrounds get started. They range from very ripply (some of the pages have been thoroughly crumpled to add textural interest)...
to striated,
to those that have picked up texture from the overleaf (this one shows a pattern of a swizzle stick on the reverse).
The colour range is fascinating,
and range from the very thick (that must have been SOME gel print!),
to the lightly patterned. (I suspect there is a stencil overprint on this one).
I was glad to note that there is a wide range of colours for my background - that means that
I'm not going to bore myself.
I can see that I will need to do some investigation regarding photo editing programs, as the Windows10 photo editor is nowhere near the one I used previously. And I most certainly will find something - just as soon as I get my computer back and my brain unfried.
In the meantime, I hope you've all had a creative week that didn't include computer issues (unless you really love them, of course). See you next week, and do catch me up on your doings in the studio!
