Hi Everybody!
Another day has flown by, we had good weather, and it was good to go out without a coat or jacket!
For Art Journal Journey (favourite poem or quote) I used one of my ready made backgrounds to make this page. I now have quite a stock of painted and /or scanned backgrounds to use. This one has a torn tissue paper background painted over with acrylics. I added more colours with Gelatos and stenciling using the CWS chicken-wire stencil and Dina Wakley's birds, 'Live' has been stenciled using the waste from a Sizzix die-cut, and I wrote the rest of the quote
into the 'L'. The dragonfly has been quilled. I am also linking to Moo Mania and More, spring feelings.
I love watching the new leaves unfolding on the branches:
The trees down at the lake are greening up well, too.
These photos are the angels on my window ledge, throwing their shadows onto the white curtain early this morning:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Your journal page is gorgeous, and your photos are beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely page and quote. Nice photos too.
ReplyDeleteEine super farbenfrohe Seite und tolle Fotos - besonders die mit den Engel-Schatten.
ReplyDeleteJetzt, wo mein Knie wieder etwas besser wird, scheint meine Muse auch wieder wach zu werden :-). Nachhher geht es an den Basteltisch. Liebe Grüße, Dagmar
Wonderful journal page, love the colours, and the photos are great. Off to the dentist here today! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteEine superschöne Seite.. ich mag den kleinen Quilling-Schmetterling.. eine Technik, die ich sehr schätze, aber mir ist das immer ein wenig zu friemelig...sieht klasse aus!
ReplyDeleteUnd Deine Fotos sind ebenfalls erfrischend schön.. schön was Du aus Deinen kleinen Engelfiguren für Stars gemacht hast! Du hast eben den speziellen Blick für Motive!

Very excellent page Valerie , with a fabulous quote.
ReplyDeleteMy apple tree's leaves are beginning to open so we will be seeing the birds coming to peck off the succulent new shoots. I hope the tree grows more than they can eat, lol.
Those shadow pics are very cute :o))
You are smart to save your gorgeous backgrounds. Lovely paper quilled butterfly. I really love the way you did your wording - very creative, clever and effective.

More beautiful things enjoy here today ♥ Love those Angel Shadows ♥
ReplyDeleteInteresting shadow photos today, Valerie, and your dragonfly is exquisite with the quilling. Something I have never attempted. My quote for last year was by Norman Vincent page, "Live your life and forget your age." I will need to reactive this for 2015.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the gorgeous colours and subtle stenciling in the background! The quilled butterfly looks very clever....
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful page Valerie and love the bright colours and lovely quote.
ReplyDeleteYour angel silhouettes made me smile too.
