Things with wings and signs of spring

Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Here is is still very cold, but we didn't get the forecasted snow and rain, so that was at least something!

For Art Journal Journey, things with wings, I have made another journal page. What else? For the background I used a water coloured, sprayed and dripped background from my ready made ones. I added more colour with Gelatos to bring in some light and sunshine, I like putting a layer of white under and over the colours to make them more luminous The fairy queen is under water, and surrounded by lots of little winged elves. The Fairy queen is a stamp from Geck Galz. I used gel-pens. white highlighter and Gelatos to add colour to the figures, and stickles for the wings, and  added some scribbling and doodling.








The sunrise today was rather hazy, but still lovely




Lots of trees are starting to sprout leaves:




The ducks were bathing, as usual


And this dandelion just needs a bit of sun before it opens up


The crow was looking for worms for breakfast


Have a nice weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.

    Was für eine traumhaft schöne Unterwasserwelt-Szene.. die Elfen im Reich der Meerjungfrauen.. eine tolle Idee! Unbeschreiblich schön ..die Motive harmonieren und verbinden sich herrlich mit dem tollen Hintergrund! Superb!
    Und Du machts mir Frühlingslaune mit Deinen Bildern, obwohl wir noch ein wenig warten müssen hier wie es scheint!
    Schönen Sonntag liebe Valerie!

    Stunning! Love how the fairy emerges from that wonderful background! A new favourite I think. Is the Gecko stamp real or a digi stamp? Of course fairies themselves are real lol....

    Valerie, your art journal page today is so beautiful and your photos of spring busting through the branches is so wonderful. Spring is my favorite season and I can't wait for the flowers to bloom. You have inspired me with the use of Gelatos so I purchased my first set but they are still in the package waiting for me to put them to use. I love the beautiful color effects you get with them.

    Love hugs,
    Carolyn

    Your fairy page is quite magical Valerie and it's lovely to see the fresh new shoots of spring, I think you're a few weeks ahead of us although the crocuses are fully out now. Xx

    Your fairy is so lovely and ethereal and beautifully done on that gorgeous background!
    I never thought about crows eating worms.
    I was just reading where dandelions are the first food for bees good thing we never worry about them popping up in our lawn. The neighbors who spray chemicals make me sad.
    Happy Spring liebe Valerie
    maybe I already told you Mr M and I will be away until later this month...we will be twinkling our toes in the sands of Turks & Caicos...
