Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. The weather was quite kind to us today, apart from a few sudden, heavy showers.
For Art Journal Journey, the sea, I have another of my pages to share where rather a lot is going on under the sea. Seeweedia, the gardener-mermaid (recognisable by her green hair) is tending a garden under a glass bell, where even butterflies can live. Her little son, Fin is learning to ride a sea-horse. The skull of some long-gone pirate gets used as a lamp, and the fishes take messages from one family to the other. The background of the page was a brush-wipe page, enhanced with extra colours and then stamped with a crackle stamp to give some texture. The under-sea bubbles are stamp by Ryn, and have been white embossed. The other images were in my stash (I am never astonished about how many various images I have there, just that it borders on a wonder to find the right thing at the right time). The quote is a variation of the Beatles' 'I want to be...' song. Other bits and bobs were doodled.
Back in the world of reality:
This huge ship was made up out of four parts, each carry different machines or cars
Have a great Sunday you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Gorgeous colours and activities in your Seeweedia pics, Valerie!

ReplyDeleteI love this page and the FABULOUS story! Utterly captivating! Plus you have pictures of horses so I am unbelievably happy! Sending you garden flowers and sunshine from Shroo:)xxx
ReplyDeleteSeeweedia looks like a magical place to be and I think I may apply to be a mermaid in a future life. I will to learn how to swim better than I do at the moment I think. Brilliant ideas and a great twist on the Beatles song.
ReplyDeleteStunning photographs again Valerie. Everything looks so lush and green and the horse are always content there in the field.
Thank you for sharing your walks they are so uplifting.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx

New here - wonderful mixed media work here. I love your combination. Very lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous piece with a spectacular background! Your seabed is full of great and strange images. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Mar
Love the art and those photos are truly beautiful. Another visit to your world in the Spring is always enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond anything.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a magical Enid Blyton Faraway Tree sort of table where you say "I'll have a boy riding a sea-horse today" and one floats down.
Well, yes, but it is sometimes difficult to find mundane things like spoons or watering-cans.
DeleteOh my I love this spread- add this to my list of favorites! Such a fun underwater scene- love all the elements you included ,Val! xo
ReplyDeleteValerie, it appears you are having as much fun creating your journal pages as I am viewing them. I love the water drops so ordered me a set from Ryn. More photos to please all of us. You see some amazing views, like the boat with a variety of cargo on different sections of the boat. The horses are wonderful and in one photo you were able to get three in one shot. Perfect for the perspective of three's.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Beautiful! LOVE the water drops/ air bubbles by Ryn. Great idea to emboss in white...
