Journal Pages

Hi you all! I just discovered to my horror that it's already Thursday evening, and somehow I was convinced it was Wednesday - where did the week go? I have been busy crafting this week - mostly crazy clocks! - and did not find much time for painting. But I did make these journal pages. I used a piece of crumpled tissue paper while spraying some paper flowers this week, and I found the tissue much nicer than the flowers! I gessoed my paper, tore the tissue in half , and smoothed it over the wet paint. I added a bit more paint and spray round about, did a bit of dripology, and added a photo also printed onto tissue. The flourish, lace and flowers were in the heap of stuff on my table. I used a Sizzix die-cut waste to add 'Live' with a white Edding paint marker. I like the uneven texture of the crumpled tissue. I wrote 'Life is measured in moments' on the left hand side, but it is hard to see here as the pages were still curling after being painted. I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin, who are also organising an Auction in aid of Sandy Hook.

I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, where the theme this month is 'special moments'.

Have a good weekend, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
