Hi everybody!
I spent a lot of time walking around yesterday, had to visit various doctors, but they all have their offices at nice places, so I do enjoy the walking, even if it was a bit much - 18000 + steps!
Today I have my next appointment for examinations and treatment at the eye clinic, so that should supply me with plenty of exercise to get there and back!
This journal page has been made for 2 challenges - 'childhood' at Moo Mania and More, and 'Fantasy scene' at AJJ. The background was painted with leftover colours, and then I used stencils with a white gel-pen for the images and writing. Some of the images have been doodled, I think I will doodle the other images, too when I have time.
The background for these journal pages were brush-wipe pages. The colours were rather hard, so instead of painting over them, as I usually do, I used some cut outs from a magazine in fitting colours which have been languishing in one of my folders for many moons.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted, as always, by Eva and Kristin.
And here are a few photos from my journey today -
A wonderful willow:
The farmers are all busy ploughing and getting thir fields ready:
I saw these buds down by the old ferry, I hope to see what they turn into next time:
The trees are getting greener from day to day:
And I saw this pretty ceramic house number:
That's all for today, take care, have a good day, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Amazing, beautiful AJJ from childhod. Love all the elements you have done.
ReplyDeleteAnother is so colourful and vibrant. It's so energic and challenging.
Great photos, there is very green already.
I hope your eye is well soon, Valerie.
Wish you happy day.
Love both of the pages you are showing today. Childhood is really a time of everything is possible. Great photos, too, and that house-number is beautiful! Have a good day, don't worry about the hospital. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos from the walk Valerie--love the bud close up. Sorry the walk was to various doctors but hope the trips were worth while for you. Good Luck with the eye stuff today.
ReplyDeleteYour childhood page is fantastic with the zentagles in the images all in white pen. The second pages 'shine' in so many ways. Just the right images for the background colours.
Love Chrissie x
Guten Morgen, liebe Valerie! Weiß gar nicht, wo ich zuerst anfangen soll :) Herrlichste Blautöne und total schöne Motive in Deinen Kindheitserinnerungen. Ich liebe es! Das zweite Bild ist ebenfalls total schön, mit der Frau, die mit dem Auge zwinkert. Hmmm, ein eye candy!
ReplyDeleteUnd natürlich die schönen Weiden - und Frühlingsknospenfotos. Dafür gibts eigentlich keine Worte :o)
Viele liebe Grüße zu Dir
Erika
Both pages look fab Valerie, specially like the blue one at the top, - the doodling looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos like always, can't believe how much greener your trees are, ours are totally bare still and we have howling winds and rain right now (I am feeling jealous...)
Fingers crossed for your appointments today, hope all will go well!!
Hope you find the time to doddle the rest of the images as they really pop against the background :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best for todays appointments

Knuddel!
Danke, ich habe dich gemailt!
DeleteYour Childhood/AJJ page is fantastic(al) and I do like the way you have doodled inside the shapes, that is very effective indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love photographs like the house number. I don't know if the ivy was there or you placed it there, but it is a nice touch.
The ivy was already there, growing nicely round the numbers.
DeleteHi Valerie, Wonderful journal pages with the brush wipes. So interesting!! Lovely walk pics and the house number sign is such a pretty one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day!
Hugs
Your journal pages are always such a delight and that doodling is very detailed! Beautiful walk again and that does seem like quite a few steps, but good that you enjoy the journey! Hope all goes well!

Hi Val,
ReplyDeleteI adore going with you on your Spring walks, almost like being there with you.Love all of the art work, especially love that picture of the path by the green trees, would make a great painting. All the best at the doctors, I too was getting blood drawn today so just getting back to PPF. Take care and rest those eyes.

This is a fantastic post Valerie. You've combined lots of info. 1) I like the various techniques (some I don't know how but I want to try later!) 2) healthy walkabouts and accompanying pics is such a joy. An artist sensitive to the surroundings only can accomplish all that you've given! Pray your eye check up was ok, Ma'am. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteHank
Such fun pages loved the blue with the dolphins.. Beautiful photo's I enjoyed your post immensely.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF

great journal pages! and thanks for sharing your photos. looks like you had a beautiful walk!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Spring has definitely arrived for you! Doodles were always a big part of my childhood--love that piece. Hope all is going well with all the Dr visits!
ReplyDeleteIf it were not for your walks, I would not get any exercise at all! And as I have said before, your delightful pictures are like having a travelog on my computer.
ReplyDeleteA little behind in my comments but I do try to get around. How is your eye doing. I do hope all doctor appointments went well!
