Owls, light, shadow and some Christmas thoughts....

Hi everybody!

Time is flying by, in a couple of weeks it will be Christmas and the year is nearly over, I can hardly believe it.

I have made another journal spread for Conny's 'Mix it Monthly', where she wants red, yellow and green and owls. I put all the colours into the background again. I started with a coat of cream coloured emulsion paint which was mixed with some yellow and gold paint leftovers. I sprayed onto it with some red and green inks while it was still wet, and stamped into the wet with various background stamps to give some texture and pattern. After it had dried, I used various stencils to add more patterns, ivy,script and numerals, using DI peeled paint. The owl is another one from the set I won, and has been drawn with a greeny-grey pen and edged with gold. The quote is from Benjamin Franklin.

 This also started life as a double page spread, but somebody spilled coffee over it, so one side had to be cut off! I wanted to show light and dark with the moon in the night sky, or rather the (wo)man in the moon. The quote is from Allen Ginsburg. I used acrylic paints, pastel chalks and felt pens.

The mixed media pages here were made a couple of years back, but are once again fitting to the season, so here they are again:

Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for visiting!
