Hi Everybody!
At Moo Mania and more we are starting a new challenge -
use your scraps.
As always, project of all formats, not just moos, are allowed, and you have 2 weeks to link to us.
I used lots of mini scraps and stamps to cover a small composition book. I gave it a coat of varnish to make it more durable,
and added the vintage car as embellishment.
I used the rest of the scraps to cover a little wooden heart, which had first been painted from both sides with gesso. This one got a coat of crackle varnish and a heart as embellishment.
For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I made a hybrid page using a photo taken in the fields behind the house, combined with a water coloured background and some silhouettes.
On Monday night the moon rose, glowing like an orange in space:
Later it looked more white, but it was a fantastic sight.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
moo mania ,, I like that!!
ReplyDeleteAlways amazed at your productivity!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of the scraps, I have to say I like the journal and heart equally.
Beautiful photographs of the moon. I love to sit and stare at the moon.

Really refine work, splendid.
ReplyDeletebeautiful work for the challenges, and wow the moon is so bright!
ReplyDeleteWOW...what a great post today. I love your idea for the front of a journal or booklet, allowing the book to open and not spoil the cover. The heart piece is equally beautiful and then your winter page with one of your photos for the background makes me smile. Lastly, your photos of the full moon are marvelous. We have had some beautiful views here of the full moon floating in the clouds.

These are so terrific.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'scrappy' notebook and heart, great way to make plain things look beautiful. Your journal page is beautiful again, love the silhouettes of JF and his dog! And the moon photos are the stars of the show for me today. Hugs, Sarah

Fabulous winter moon pictures Valerie. I have never seen it so clear on a photograph. We have had so much cloud and rain you can't even see the sky.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas for your scraps and beautiful crackle effect.
Love the winter page and amazed that you have found so many wonderful ideas all this month.
Have a good day
Love Chrissie xx

Herzliche Grüsse, Sichtwiese
The moon was beautiful the other night, and so bright too! Love both your scrap pieces (that doesn't sound right but I hope you know what I mean, and your AJJ Jack Frost. Love the little dog silhouette near the boy! Hope the week is going well! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean!
DeleteWow, beautiful pieces today Valerie. Love your little Jack Frost and his dog, ha!! Your heart is amazing, all that texture, love it!! Great shots of the moon, never seen an orange one like that. hugs :)
ReplyDeleteAll your works are beautiful, but my favorite is your scrappy heart. It would make a great Valentine's day gift. Blessings, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, now all I need is a Valentine to send it to!

ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the moon.

All kinds of wondrous things again today:) Isn't that moon something?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Beautiful use of colors and pieces. Back in my crafty days... Oh wait, I haven't been crafty since I was 15 years old. Guess that means I can enjoy other people's creativity more. =)
ReplyDeleteI have never understand your hybrid art journal pages but I do find them delightful!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Very beautiful works! Hugs Marjut

The moon the other night was so beautiful and bright it cast shadows underneath the trees onto the snow making the night time glow ♥

I'm running behind since I was out all day and evening. What a great challenge at Moo Mania. I like the book cover, but I simply adore the hearts. This is a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe moon was so bright here, too. I like how you captured it through the tree limbs. I can see it right now out my office window, but it's not as pretty as yours.
Wow what fabulous pieces using your left over scraps and especially the heart. That looks a fun challenge! ( we all have boxes of scraps don't we ha ha )
ReplyDeleteyour wonderful winter wonderland has a real chill factor - love the way you've framed the scene through what looks like a very icy window.
