Hi you all. It's still really cold here, but, the weathermen have predicted that it will get warmer - it will also be very wet, windy and stormy, but I suppose we can't have everything!
The theme over at Moo-Mania is to make a storage or box for Moos. I have made another of my pocket books, and filled it with a selection of Moos. I used the leather look paper again for the covers.
One day I might manage a photo with clean fingers!
I used designer papers from Anna Griffin.
And I have made some more journal pages for the 'Challenge yourself' theme at Art Journal Monthly. My challenge was to make something light and sunny to make up for the missing summer. Every time I painted something last week I wiped the brushes and the remaining paint here, which gave me a basis which only needed a bit of background stamping / stenciling, and I used some Artemio stamps for the grass and plants over the green paint at the bottom of the pages. I added a little profile of summer, with flowers in her hair, and the two other figures made with stencils. I think a lot of us are asking ourselves the question I have asked! It was fun doing something a bit lighthearted this time!
I like how the colour used for the stencils has remained a bit transparent and still shows the background.
Here's wishing you all a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for visiting!
Oh Valerie! Ich weiss gar nicht was ich grad schreiben soll?!

ReplyDeleteYou've been busy again, Valerie! I think the little moo storage books are just the 'ticket' - no pun intended. Your journal pages are gorgeous. My journal is being sadly neglected, must get back to it. Hope you have a lovely day. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteLovely pocketbook and pages Valerie, the pages reflect your longing for a prer spring.
ReplyDeleteProper spring I meant to say
ReplyDeleteIt's always a treat to visit here and see your lovely pages and projects! The moo book is handy to keep these little cards safe--I like the cards that seem to be a continuing picture.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the weather with you Valerie, I've just came in from the garden as I was getting too hot (have to say that doesn't happen too often in Scotland!). A super little moo book, I particularly love the pretty girl ones and hopefully your summer pages will summon a little sunshine for you! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. Xx

Valerie, ich weiß gar nicht, was mir am besten gefällt.
ReplyDeleteDein Moo-Büchlein ist einfach wundervoll gestaltet.
Und die Moos selbst sind ebenfalls wunderschön.
Deine Doppelseite mit der Sommerbeschwörungsformel könnte mir nicht besser gefallen, da stimmen Farben und Gestaltungselemente.
Du scheinst echt nen Run zu haben momentan! Einfach spitze!
Clean fingers- never! That shows you've made time to play! Love your art journal page- esp. the layers of grass and flowers!

auf das der Sommer bald kommt!
Clean fingers in a photo?? Not going to happen...lol...I'm the same...sigh.
ReplyDeleteLove your pocket book and the moos it holds.
And yes...we're asking ourselves the same question about summer. Your journal pages a so pretty - they certainly feel "summery".
Hugs xx
Your Moosa are gorgeous, love how you split the face into 3 pieces! The journal is stunning! Gorgeous how the figures let the bg show through and love the trimming in gold too. Summers face is exactly what I would imagine it to be too. Totally stunning piece! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteSuper journal pages so dreamy. BJ
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages! Love the silhouettes. And the Moos are so cool, especially loving that one with the girl split between three of them.
ReplyDeleteWow these really are stunning Valerie, the moos are really pretty and the journal pages are quite magical. As for clean fingers - not a chance :-) xx
ReplyDeleteA fabulous Home to hide Moos in.
ReplyDeleteWOW, was für eine fantastische Arbeit!!

ReplyDeleteI love your 'summer' pages though - they are just so pretty.
