Hi Everybody!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!
For Art Journal Journey, time, I have an A3 mixed-media collage. The background was painted with a mix of gesso and titan buff. I used my home made head stencil, added a clock and stenciled the rest with cogs using rusty hinge DI. The rest was collaged with bits and bobs from one of my bit boxes, and given a diluted wash of the gesso mixture. Part of the text was written with a stencil, the rest by hand. (Sounds silly, I use my hands with the stencil too, but I hope you know what I mean!)
The fields have all been harvested, some of the leaves are beginning to turn, and the berries are ripening - summer seems to be slowly winding down.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
That spider web photo is spectacular. And I always love your head pieces. Today's is not a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Art Valerie. I really have missed your fascinating pictures. Hugs Rita xx
ReplyDeleteI think you have an oxymoron with your hand stenciling. You have some incredibly beautiful pieces to choose from in your bit box. Very nice pieces, in fact. The entire entry is beautiful and rather romantic.
ReplyDeleteSummer may be winding down here too, but the heat hasn't dissipated any. I'll be glad when we have cooler temperatures. Love today's photos and those berries look ready to eat!
We had 2 cooler and wet days, but the heat is supposed to be back again tomorrow!
DeleteLove todays composition, really very special. Great photos, too. Have a good start in the new week. hugs, Sarah

That's funny, I've never thought of time and memory in that way.
ReplyDeleteYour bits and bobs box must be a fascinating place, I spent some time studying the various interesting b&bs in your painting.
We are still waiting for summer, but it seems like the Rowan berries are extra early this year.
