Last day of the 'Maps' challenge

Hi Everybody!

Today is the last day of our 'Maps' challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Thanks to Mary who was our hostess this month.
I have one more piece to show today. I placed a drawing made by Stik (a street artist) on a house in Bristol - he likes to paint around windows and doors - onto an antique map of Bristol (courtesy of Wikipedia). I like the contrast between ancient and modern.




And I made my usual collage of  pieces this month:


Tomorrow our new challenge will be starting, so if you want to know who our hostess is and what her theme is, come back tomorrow and look - I know it will be a good month!

Today we actually had a lovely sunrise again. It didn't stay that nice all day, we had a lot of wind and clouds, but it did feel something like a sort of summer day, and it didn't rain!









And my quote today:

'For God makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust' (Matthew 5)

Have a great day you all, take care
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  5. Stik is an artist I had not heard of, but I like his work and love how you showed it digitally. Of course, I always love your end-of-the-month collage. My favorite is still "Where do I belong." It is so poignant.

    It's been sticky hot here today. I was going to clean my front porch in preparation of company, but it got too hot by the time I woke. I'd gladly give you some of my heat and humidity and nearly cloudless day. Hope yours stays dry, too.
