Day 1414: A questionable step-by-step?

"redhead", collage & ink

How about an unfinished step -by-step?

collage tissue, sewing pattern & newspaper on 7.5 x 10" spread

Trying a newly introduced approach for a journal spread ...

adding black gesso & acrylics

and I am clearly out of my comfort zone. 

Which may be a good thing, I think?

This approach uses layers,

many layers, collage, acrylic, ink ...

then add a figure somewhere.

This process take more time than I usually spend,

close up of mulberry paper for hair

and I know it is not finished, but ...

I am currently stumped! 

I'll post it later if I can save it?
