Hi Everybody!
For Art Journal Journey, Jo's challenge of 'Poetry in motion', I have
an A4 journal page. The BG was painted with blue and gold, and the edges
sewn. I made a golden 'skin' from acryl paint and matte gel, and
stamped it with the Frida Kahlo stamp when it was dry (it needs about 24
hours to dry). I sewed the skin over some cheese cloth, lace and gold
mesh, and added feathers, beading and 'earrings' as embellishments.
For my 'use your scraps' challenge at Tag Tuesday
I used various scraps of paper which I cut into tag forms
and sewed together. The craft tag in the top layer was stamped with
an image from CI
The moon last night was fantastic, I couldn't stop taking photos.
It was wonderful to watch the moon rising over the horizon
and sailing up into the sky.
Sorry if you are not a 'lunatic'!
I will announce the winner of my postcard tomorrow!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
A page that has everything wonderful and a tag with amazing sewing. Then the photographs as well for lunatics everywhere.

ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning page for Art Journal Journey! You have illustrated Frida perfectly and the quote is such an inspiration 😀. Your use of fabrics is amazing, I love the layers you have created and also the rich gold of the silk which you cleverly stamped with Frida and the quote. All the little details are wonderful and those beads are exquisite! The little girl on your lovely tag is so pretty and oh, that moon must have been spectacular to see 😀. Thank you for joining in the fun and wishing you a lovely evening! J 😊

ReplyDeleteThat moon is fantastic. I didn't get to see it since it is late when it finally gets over the trees here, so I enjoyed your photos. And the tags are great too. I love the skin you made. It works really well for stamping and adding great texture to your tag.:) Hugs-Erika

I've never been able to get a "skin" to stay together, yet you not only created one, you stamped on it, then sewed it. It is wonderful!
