Hi Everybody!
Hope your day is going well!
For Art Journal Journey, masculine and feminine, I made 2 pages, one for the feminine side, and the other for the masculine. When my neighbour saw them, he said that the background was fine for the men, but I should have taken something pink and flowery for the ladies - are men the only ones who read? And he was wearing a pink shirt, but I didn't point it out to him....
The figures were made with home made stencils and painted with black acrylics.
I put the figures inside my heads - there's always a lot going on in them, and added the quotes - finished. This time I kept it simple
Today the weather was better. I forgot my camera so had to take the pics with my phone.
The ancient mulberry tree is doing well:
The white cattle are growing bigger and bigger:
And it stayed dry in spite of lots of clouds.
The rose arch is in the square near the Basilica:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
The journal is really nice, and the quotes are apt. Great photos, really great of you to share!
ReplyDeleteLovely pages, at least your neighbour has an opinion! The mulberry trees around here are the small ones that loop over.

ReplyDeleteI love your simple heads today and the book pagee background is perfect for BOTH sexes of course. Maybe your neighbour was just teasing.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how old the mulberry tree is Valerie? I'm assuming, very, if there is a plaque about it.
We have had a lot of rain recently so I'm really happy that we have beautiful sunshine today for the European Bag-piping Championships that is on in our town today. I'm so pleased for them. It's too loud for Wee Man, so I shall be following it on and off via facebook and twitter. Hope you have a lovely day too {{Hugs}}
The tree is from the 18th century, and is supported with props made of brick and wood to save it from falling.
ReplyDeleteFabelhafte Seiten und herrliche Aufnahmen.. was für ein toller Baum !
ReplyDeleteEinen schönen Samstag lieben Valerie!
