This is the drawing of my art table Buddha. This is my first taped page.

 Experimenting with this in Juliana Coles Quick Draw workshop.

I've heard people advise to never put masking tape in a journal but I think

that these pages will change your mind. I love the texture and it is especially

nice when the words or illustrations from the altered book show through.
