Hi Everybody!
Hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Have a good start in the new week!
For Art Journal Journey I have made another A3 journal page. For the background I sprinkled brushos onto a damp page and then sprayed with more water to get the colours moving. I used stencils from Dina Wakley with black acrylic paint for the faces. The elephant was also made with a stencil, but I don't know the manufacturer. The steampunk birds with human faces are from Paper Artsy. I stamped them onto tissue paper with archival black and embossed with extra fine EP. The quote is from DH Lawrence, and was hand-written.
We had another grey day here with rain and sleet showers. Not many people were about today, but lots of seagulls, who enjoyed my leftover bread.
The ducks didn't seem to mind the weather either!
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
The colors in your art journal are wonderful - I love the richness of them. The Dina Wakley stencils look good, I love the bird on it! Beautiful writing - I admire everyone who has beautiful handwriting; my own is awful!
ReplyDeleteLovely page encompassing the theme perfectly with that quote. The birds made me think spring is not far off today. In reality we are in the dead of winter over here.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Valerie. What fabulous pages, so very colourful too. Love your winter scene pictures, you have captured the birds and the wintery day. Some beautiful sunshine here in the last few days, but icy cold outdoors. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful page, I thought yesterday's one was the tops, but this tops it again! Great colours and style! Have a nice day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow all those seagulls and ducks...gorgeous. Beautiful creation once again with gorgeous stamp/image and colour combo...xx

Guten Morgen, liebe Valerie! Deine Vögel und Gesichter sind superschön geworden. Ich mag die Gesichter, weil sie wie kleine Monde über allem zu schweben scheinen. Eine tolle Arbeit.
ReplyDeleteEine schöne Woche wünsche ich Dir!

The birds certainly take centre stage today even the ones on your artwork. Love the bright colours and the way you let them run down the page to blend together.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day

This made me smile Valerie, that gorgeous elephant has a look of surprise, must be the bird that's just landed on it's back! Enjoy your Monday. Xx

ReplyDeleteAll of the birds in the photos look so happy and content with their cold wetness,..... BURRRRRR!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous Valerie, I love your elephant, and aren't the Brusho's fab! It's looking a bit chilly over there at the moment ! xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love my brushos!

ReplyDeleteWhat an imaginative colourful page.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like not much h*******k will be done this month again!
You are really rocking at AJJ.
Funny how the ducks and seagulls don't mind the wet weather, you would think they would want to come in and sit by the fire.
Loving the bright colours and your elephant. x
ReplyDeleteLove the fabulous journal page, the colours have brightened a dull winter day.The elephant looks super.

Was für eine tolle Seite - die Farben sind einfach nur schön.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, this journal page is really special. Love the bright colors bringing warmth on the cold winter day. We went from 80 to the 30's and it's so cold now. What happened to our weather?? LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Hugs
Another beautifully bright and cheery page. That quote is very good :o))
ReplyDeleteSuper toll die Gesichtsstencils hab ich auch und noch nie benutzt, Du hast mich richtig inspiriert damit, die Seite ist prima kombiniert und eingefärbt. Die Fotos sind auch wieder Spitze.
