Resist - GPP Crusade 21
Thismonths crusade is all about Resist, that is doing wax rubbings and then applying a wash of acrylic paint over the top. For great instructions (as always) visit GPP Street Team.
My results were hit and miss. I think the lighter crayon with dark wash worked best. Here is a journal page I started using the papers I created:
Sorry about the poor image but it was the best one I could get.
An update on GPP Crusade 17 - Pandora's Box, which was all about putting together a Travelling Journal Kit. 
After this crusade I received a copy of Art Escapes by Dory Canter as a gift. Whilst I have not ventured far into the book the first chapter is all about assembling your supplies in seperate kits so they are ready to grab at any time - the same message Michelle was conveying. What I liked was that it suggested to have three tool kits, one each for drawing, watercolour and collage. That way you could take one, two or all three depending on what your needs were at the time. Add to this a sketchbook/journal and packet of collage papers.
So after I collected my kits together (she does suggest what to put in them) I thought it would be great to put them altogether in 
this 'Bag/Box' my sister had given me. Once I had put in the 3 kits, a journal, and a packet of collage papers, I still had quite a bit of room left, so I filled it with extra bits and pieces (such as small acrylic paints, stamps,) and made my collage kit a little bigger, after all I can always take things out!
This is all still fairly contained as the Travel Kit Box/Bag measures 28cm x 23cm (11inches x 9inches) and is 15cm (6inches) high.
Now I am ready....I just need to organise somewhere to travel too!!
Ursula - great to see your samplers of rubbings and resists AND the pages you made with them. It was also fun to see you revisit the tool kit with all those fab supplies organized and ready-for-anything. Thanks for sharing with the team!

I like what you did with the resist papers -- a very nice journal page! It's a perfect time to revisit the travel kits. School just let out for the summer here and I'm itching to get away. Your example is inspiring me to get my kit together. Thanks!

the resist is really effective, gives some interesting textures too.

Thanks for sharing this, it reminds me that I did that kit crusade later on too, I now have a tiny bag with papers in it to go at leat outside in the garden but I never blogged it, maybe I need to do that. I've done the resist crusade though and it was fun. your butterfly looks great!

The box is awesome! What a great place to store your journaling kits.

Hi Ursula,
your resists look ALL great, that butterfly looks specially beautifull! And I LOVE your journaling kit! I have one too (it changes all the times, the content I mean) but for me it is great to know I can grab my kit when I know there is some time to journal on the road. Hope you have the same experience,
Hedwig

Love your rubbings. At least you have put it to use. I am still trying to come up with something for mine. Thanks for the tip about having more than one type of mobile kit. It is a great idea.

*nod nod nod* Yep I took a travel journal kit all over Europe and it was divine. It MAKES you use minimal stuff, and the results are great as you dont spend time wondering what to use or shuffling through your junk to get it. The case looks fantastic, a work of art in itself.
