Fairies and faces

Hi Everybody!

I have enjoyed a restful weekend. I went for a walk yesterday,
and had a pyjama day today, so feel more rested
and ready to get through the last 2
days of Rehab/Boot Camp.

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I have another hybrid page, using a painted background layered with an old document, a photo of a bird and branch, and some digital add ons.




This is one of the doodle drawings I made while I was in hospital. It was not easy drawing in bed, I just used a graphite stick as I didn't
want to make a mess with colours. I was planning on doing a few alterations, but have decided to leave them as they are. I am linking to
99 faces - 4 on one page!



Yesterday and Friday we had lots of morning mist, but I like the way the mist sucks the colour out of the world.






Have a good start in the new week, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  5. Yes, mist is funny though. I love too how it sucks out the colors, but if you have some bold colors, they seem to pop in the mist. What a strange thing it is. Love your digital hybrid. I think adding the elf and fairy is a great addition. And those sketches are really good. I think it is a good idea to leave them as they are. And glad you had a good pj day- perfect for getting ready for the last 2 days!!! You must be ready to finish up-Hugs-Erika

  6. The journal page composition is inspiring. Your doodling is amazing to say the least. Love the mist pictures. It is difficult to draw out a good view in the mist unless you have a good place to help accent and give texture. Excellent.

    Hugs and Blessings

  8. Love the fairy and deer page with the beautiful birds as well.

    Great face page you did in hospital and a great idea to draw a group for a change.

    The photographs make the view mysterious and I hope the fog lifted soon afterwards.

    Nice that you relaxed over the weekend ready for the last two day of 'training'. I hope it has helped you feel better.

    Love Chrissie xx

  15. Oh yes, I love the mist and your misty photographs.
    I do like your forest with the magical creatures and birds, especially I like the large rather fierce-looking deer.
    By the time you read this it should only be one day to go?

  16. My oh my,I wish I could draw like you. Your faces are beautiful and so are the animals on your page. The misty photos are delightful. One more day and you can return to your schedule and get to painting and creating beautiful pages and take strolls along the Rhine stopping for a cup of your favorite coffee.
    Hugs,
    Carolyn
